Abstract

The present invention provides that ERRα is a breast cancer biomarker of clinical course and treatment sensitivity and, itself, a target for breast cancer treatment. A high ERRα level in breast cancer indicates poor prognosis. Analyzing ERRα expression level along with the status of ERα and ErbB2 can help breast cancer patients make treatment choices. Furthermore, breast cancer can be treated by modulating ERRα activity.
