Dynamic biomarkers in hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer trials: a new hope for precision oncology

Hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer evolves in response to therapy, demanding smarter, adaptive biomarker-based treatment strategies. We review emerging dynamic biomarkers to guide therapeutic decision-making, spanning tissue and liquid biopsies, metabolic imaging, and microbiome profiling, that capture tumor or host-related changes over time. By contrasting Academic and Industry approaches, we advocate for a cultural shift in clinical trial design and implementation, aiming to move from reactive to proactive Oncology.
