Could this be you?

Nearly 1 out of 2 people with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer may develop an ESR1 mutation after progression on hormone therapy.
I know my cancer’s ESR1 mutation status. You should too.

1.  Ask about status

I learned that ESR1  mutations can be common after treatment like mine.

So, before starting my next treatment, I asked my oncologist about the ESR1  mutation status of my cancer.

2. Get tested

We did a blood test.

And it showed that my cancer had developed an ESR1  mutation.

3. Discuss options

Now I know my cancer has an ESR1  mutation.

So, I’m discussing treatment options specifically for my type of cancer with my healthcare team.

I’m a third-grade teacher who is very active. And I’m also a person living with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer.

Like many people with my type of cancer, I was taking hormone therapy and a type of treatment called a CDK4/6 inhibitor. After a little over a year, my disease had progressed, so my healthcare team told me it was time to try a different treatment.

Could your experience be similar to mine? If so, here is more information you may find helpful.

CDK, cyclin-dependent kinase; ER+, estrogen receptor-positive; ESR1, estrogen receptor 1; HER2-, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative.

90% Of People

In ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer, the first treatment for most people is a hormone therapy taken alone or in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor.

Hormone therapies

CDK4/6 inhibitors

Ibrance® (palbociclib)
Kisqali® (ribociclib)
Verzenio® (abemaciclib)

But cancer tries to get around treatments by mutating. This may be why the cancer may progress. An ESR1 mutation is an example of a mutation in metastatic breast cancer that may cause treatment to stop working.

Talk with your healthcare team about your cancer’s ESR1  mutation status before starting your next treatment

I had a blood test to see if my cancer has an ESR1 mutation, which could be the reason my cancer progressed on my current treatment. Ask your healthcare team if you should have a blood test, too.

ESR1  mutations can impact your physician's choice of treatment. So, it’s important to know your cancer’s ESR1  mutation status before starting your next treatment. Blood test results will help you and your healthcare team decide which treatment options are most appropriate for you.
