ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides that ERRγ is both a breast cancer biomarker and a breast cancer treatment target. A high ERRγ level in breast cancer cells indicates good prognosis. A high level of ERRγ in breast tissue suspected of being cancerous is indicative of breast cancer. Analyzing ERRγ status and optionally along with the status of ERα can help breast cancer patients make treatment choices. Furthermore, breast cancer can be treated by decreasing ERRγ activity in breast cancer cells.
