More Hope For PARP Inhibitors In Treating Breast Cancer

March 8, 2019 / Dr. Aaron G. Margulies / Breast Cancer Research

We hosted a dinner on PARP Inhibitors recently. PARP Inhibitors are a class of medications that may have benefits in Triple Negative and other Breast Cancers in women with a BRCA mutation. Homologous Recombination Deficiencies are associated with several cancers, including breast cancer, and can be identified in breast cancer tissue itself. Tumors with a homologous recombination deficiency (including BRCA mutations) are described as HRD-positive.

The last week of September is National Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) Week, and October 3rd is National Previvor Day. These are both important events to raise awareness about hereditary cancer and the importance of BRCA gene testing. Millions of people carry an inherited BRCA gene mutation or have a family history of cancer, but many remain unaware of their risk. National HBOC Week and Previvor Day aim to change that.
