Learning Objectives After completing this course, the reader will be able to: Describe the
role of epigenetic information in the regulation of gene expression and in the development of
cancer. Explain the important role of estrogen receptor expression in breast cancer as a
prognostic marker and predictive factor of response to endocrine therapy. Evaluate the
current and potential role that the comprehension of the molecular biology of a tumor may
have in finding a new therapeutic approach in cancer treatment. Access and take the CME …
