Fabiana Napolitano, MD, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy, discusses the role of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in resistance to estrogen deprivation therapy in hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer. CD8+ T cell infiltration and chemokine enrichment, particularly CXCL11, were associated with estrogen deprivation resistance. CXCL11 promotes estrogen-independent proliferation via CXCR3 signaling, contributing to shorter relapse-free survival. This interview took place at the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) congress in San Antonio, TX.
