PARP inhibitor resistance and TP53 mutations in patients treated with olaparib for BRCA-mutated cancer: Four case reports
23 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
Loss‑of‑function BRCA mutations are frequent in high‑grade serous ovarian carcinoma. BRCA1 and ‑2 mutations lead to homologous recombination (HR) deficiency. Poly(ADP‑ribose) polymerases (PARP) are enzymes involved in DNA repair. PARP inhibitors (PARPi) lead to DNA damage accumulation in cells deficient in HR. Olaparib (a PARPi) is currently used for the treatment of high‑grade serous ovarian carcinoma with...
