Poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) are used for patients with advanced prostate cancer bearing alterations in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes. We sought to characterize HRR gene ...
Using advanced computational genomics, Johns Hopkins investigators discovered how prostate cancer develops resistance to ...
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted regular approval to treatment with Rubraca (rucaparib) for the treatment of ...
The PARP inhibitor Lynparza improves survival and delays disease progression in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that expresses certain gene mutations inhibiting DNA repair, a ...
Nearly 12% of men with advanced prostate cancer have inherited mutations in genes that play a role in repairing damaged DNA, according to a new study. Inherited mutations in DNA-repair genes—including ...
"Men with these known variants should be counseled on the increased risk of prostate cancer, and I would recommend that they undergo regular PSA screening…Of course there are many other factors that ...
Identification of variants influences treatment decisions. Inhibitors of the poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) system, a pathway for repairing single-stranded DNA breaks, are recommended for tumors ...
A transcriptome analysis of castration resistant prostate cancer metastases in a prospective cohort study reveals high expression of AKT pathway genes predictive of long term response to abiraterone ...
Inherited mutations in genes that function to repair DNA may contribute to metastatic prostate cancer more than previously recognized, according to a study out today in the New England Journal of ...
