Population remodeling in the acquisition of endocrine resistance in breast cancer

Hu Rong , Sengupta Surojeet , Sevigny Catherine , Zhang Zhen , Wang Yue , Clarke Robert

The cell-cell interactions that occur within the breast tumor microenvironment are critical determinants of cancer cell fate. In the face of treatment, the theory of clonal evolution dominates current thinking. Thus, individual cells may acquire a mutation(s) that provides a selection advantage, i.e., Darwinian selection acts at the single cell level. We studied the effect of antiestrogen treatment on the population remodeling ...
