Chen et al. generate mimicking dormant clinical anti-estrogen-induced estrogen receptor positive mammary carcinoma (ER+MC) models. TFF3 is identified as a prognostic indicator and epigenetically regulated oncogenic driver of anti-estrogen-induced dormancy in ER+MC with combined inhibition of TFF3 and CDK4/6 exhibiting potential to ameliorate outcomes in anti-estrogen-induced ER+MC.
