Copy number data from Patient-Derived tumor models (PDX) establish from bone metastases of breast cancer.

A significant proportion of patients with oestrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancers (BC) develop resistance to endocrine treatments (ET) and relapse with metastatic disease. Bone is the most common metastatic site in ER+ patients, however bone metastases are technically challenging to biopsy and analyse. Difficulties concern both tumour tissue acquisition and techniques for analysis and RNA extractions. Patient-derived xenografts (PDX) of BC bone metastases have not been reported yet. For the first time we established PDX models from bone metastatic biopsies of patients progressing on ET and treated by vertebroplasty. PDX models were analysed at genomic level to identify new therapeutic targets associated with endocrine resistance in the metastatic setting. Identification of chromosomic alterations in bone metastasis derived PDX. CytoScan of 3 PDX established from bone metastasis samples. No replicate.
