PARP inhibition in BRCA2-mutated prostate cancer

Defects in DNA repair genes are increasingly recognized as a defining molecular feature of a subset of patients with prostate cancer. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have been shown to have clinical activity in this subgroup, but other compounds including platinum also warrant explora...

Zusammenfassung:Defects in DNA repair genes are increasingly recognized as a defining molecular feature of a subset of patients with prostate cancer. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have been shown to have clinical activity in this subgroup, but other compounds including platinum also warrant exploration. We report here the remarkable clinical course of a patient with a germline BRCA2 mutation treated with the PARP inhibitor olaparib.
