Type of ET resistanceb Primary ET resistance 9 (14.1%) 10 (35.7%)
Secondary ET resistance 24 (37.5%) 10 (35.7%)
a

One patient underwent lumpectomy for bone-only metastatic disease after near complete response on ET and another patient underwent mastectomy and found to have metastatic disease shortly after surgery

b

ET resistance was higher in the 2L CDK4/6i cohort due to the majority of patients having previously been on ET as 1L treatment for metastatic breast cancer
