Abstract excerpt
BRCAness is considered a predictive biomarker to platinum and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. However, recent trials showed that its predictive value was limited in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treated with platinum. Moreover, tumors with mutations of DNA damage response (DDR) genes, such as homologous recombination (HR) genes, could be sensitive to platinum and PARP inhibitors. Thus, we...
