Abstract
Patients with advanced breast cancer and low or poor concentration of estrogen receptors in tumor biopsies have little chance of responding to endocrine therapy. This problem was seen in a group of nonresponding estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) patients. Some comments on possible explanations for this phenomenon are made and suggestions to overcome it are given.Keywords
