Abstract

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women in the world. HER2-negative hormone receptor-positive BC is present in 70% of all cases of BC. A key role in the treatment of this type of BC plays an endocrine therapy, effective at disease progression as well. This article presents and discusses data on modern treatment options of HER2-negative hormone receptor-positive advanced BC, including combined endocrine and targeted therapy with mTOR inhibitor everolimus.
