    Resistance to cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors confers cross-resistance to other CDK inhibitors but not to chemotherapeutic agents in breast cancer cells

    Combined endocrine therapy with a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor has been indicated to improve not only progression-free survival, but also overall survival in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-...
