Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer and high levels of estrogen promote its development. Researchers at HCI, led by @xedbee and @GertzLab, have identified potential new treatment options for people with endometrial cancer. https://t.co/IvkwCF6e8w

Our work characterizing ER hotspot mutations in endometrial cancer is out in MCR 🥳 The study highlighted allele-specific differences between ER-Y537S and ER-D538G mutations and identified potential therapeutic targets in this disease.
