Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a rising incidence and is one of the most
lethal human malignancies. Much is known regarding the biology and pathophysiology of …

Antitumor therapeutic strategies that fundamentally rely on the induction of DNA damage to
eradicate and inhibit the growth of cancer cells are integral approaches to cancer therapy …

Simple Summary Internationally, in women, breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer
type and is the leading cause of cancer-related death. There are two main histological …

Germline BRCA–associated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (gl BRCA PDAC) tumors are
susceptible to platinum and PARP inhibition. The clinical outcomes of 125 patients with gl …

Abstract Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPis) have become a
mainstay of therapy in ovarian cancer and other malignancies, including BRCA-mutant …

PARP1 mediates poly-ADP-ribosylation of proteins on chromatin in response to different
types of DNA lesions. PARP inhibitors are used for the treatment of BRCA1/2-deficient …

Homologous recombination and DNA repair are important for genome maintenance.
Genetic variations in essential homologous recombination genes, including BRCA1 and …

Simple Summary When tumors become resistant to chemotherapeutics, alternative
treatment strategies must be explored. Gene targeting provides a personalized and …

The principle of synthetic lethality, which refers to the loss of viability resulting from the
disruption of two genes, which, individually, do not cause lethality, has become an attractive …

Recently, genetically targeted cancer therapies have been a topic of great interest. Synthetic
lethality provides a new approach for the treatment of mutated genes that were previously …
