Abstract

Most breast cancers are driven by oncogenic activity of the estrogen receptor alpha (ER). Resistance to ER target therapies is the major cause of breast cancer death. Recently, there has been renewed interest in targeting the androgen receptor (AR) to treat ER-driven breast cancers. Herein, we discuss evidence for an AR agonist, not antagonist, treatment strategy.
