Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of estrogen-receptor low positive (ER-low) breast cancer, focused on the current and emerging treatment options for this specific biological subtype. Indeed, recently, ER-low breast cancer is becoming of particular interest due to its emerging affinity with triple-negative tumors, with consequent impact on disease management and treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to explore its biology and clinical and therapeutic implications.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of original research articles, reviews, mini-reviews, and clinical studies.
To ensure the highest quality and relevance of the published articles, this Special Issue will not accept case reports. The aim is to present in-depth research findings, evidence-based analyses, and critical evaluations of therapeutic interventions for ER-low breast cancer.
Researchers, clinicians, and experts in the field are invited to contribute their valuable insights and share their latest findings. By bringing together a diverse range of perspectives, we hope to foster collaboration, stimulate further research, and ultimately improve the outcomes for patients with this specific tumor subtype.
