Synthetic Lethality of PARP Inhibitors in Combination with MYC Blockade Is Independent of BRCA Status in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
27 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract PARP inhibitors (PARPi) benefit only a fraction of breast cancer patients. Several of those patients exhibit intrinsic/acquired resistance mechanisms that limit efficacy of PARPi monotherapy. Here we show how the efficacy of PARPi in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) can be expanded by targeting MYC-induced oncogenic addiction. In BRCA-mutant/sporadic TNBC patients, amplification of the MYC gene is...
