Abstract

BACKGROUND: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition is synthetically lethal in cells with deleterious alterations in DNA damage response genes involved in homologous recombination repair (HRR). Alterations in HRR genes, including BRCA1/2, have been identified in ~25% of prostate cancer samples and linked with worse clinical outcomes. We explored relationships between tumor genetics and prolo…
