Specific <i>BRCA</i> and immune configurations determine optimal response to platinum-based chemotherapy in triple negative breast and ovarian carcinomas
2021-08-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Loss of homologous recombination repair (HRR) via germline and somatic BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations and via BRCA1 promoter methylation has been associated with better response to platinum agents and PARP inhibitors, in both triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and ovarian carcinoma (OvCa). A major conundrum arising from recent clinical studies is why cancers with BRCA1 promoter methylation (...
