Using a CRISPR-based large-scale screen, Gilad et al. identify the genes that show synthetic lethality with an SRC-3 inhibitor in breast cancer cells while contrasting this with the estrogen receptor degrader fulvestrant. This study provides insights into the development of therapeutic strategies for cancer forms that involve SRC-3.
