Functional <i>Ex Vivo</i> Assay to Select Homologous Recombination–Deficient Breast Tumors for PARP Inhibitor Treatment
24 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are promising targeted treatment options for hereditary breast tumors with a homologous recombination (HR) deficiency caused by BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. However, the functional consequence of BRCA gene mutations is not always known and tumors can be HR deficient for other reasons than BRCA gene mutations. Therefore, we aimed to develop a functional test to...
