Why is it important?

This is a comprehensive review that was prepared gathering all of the ideas/theories from a wide range of studies performed to test the possibility/efficacy of using these small molecules (miRNA) in overcoming such a nagging problem facing breast cancer endocrine therapy resistance

Perspectives

The process of gathering all the data for this review as well as writing this review (alongside my 'back then' MSc supervisor) has been a great challenge for me, but I have learned a lot and I am thankful for this process. I hope this article does open an insight or at least help towards a better tomorrow in advancing in the area of cancer research, to ultimately help those who are affected by such a disease.
