Abstract excerpt
Cancers with mutations in BRCA2 have defective DNA repair capacity which is potentially targetable with poly-ADP(ribose) polymera se (PARP) inhibitors such as olaparib and rucaparib. However, the development of a secondary mutation that restores BRCA2 function is a well-documented mechanism of resistance to PARP inhibitors. Here, we present a case report of a man with metastatic castration-resistant prostate...
