Abstract :Endocrine treatment is the current first line treatment in ER+ advanced breast cancer with a requirement of predictive biomarkers to the treatment and different approaches for endocrine resistance risk. Cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) are regulating each step of cellular division in mammalian cell cycle and are hyperactivated in cancer cells causing cancer progression. Next generation pan-CDK inhibitors are in clinical development, while clinical trials in breast cancer, particularly in ER+ subtype where the greatest growth inhibition has been observed. Here I will review the data from this new class of drugs.
