Overcoming resistance to PARP inhibitor in epithelial ovarian cancer, are we ready?
7 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) exploit BRCA mutations and DNA damage response (DDR) deficiencies. Inhibition of PARP leads to propagation of single-strand DNA breaks and accumulation of double-strand breaks, which require homologous recombination (HR) repair mechanisms. PARP inhibitors were initially developed as maintenance therapy in patients with sustained complete or partial response...
