Abstract
Most breast cancer patients are estrogen receptor positive and thus benefit from treatments that inhibit estrogen production; however, one third of tamoxifen-treated patients develops resistance and relapse. Here the authors show that tamoxifen resistant cells are resistant to chemotherapy because of BARD1 and BRCA1 upregulation.
