摘要: Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive, frequently fatal malignancy that strikes 37,000 patients annually in the U.S.A. It poorly responsive to standard chemotherapies such as gemcitabine. Approximately 5-10% of pancreatic occurs setting a BRCA2 mutation. Breast and ovarian carcinomas harbor mutations are susceptible effects emerging class targeted agents, namely, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. This report describes case patient with germline mutation associated treated iniparib (BSI-201), PARP inhibitor, who demonstrated complete pathologic response this agent. highlights potential benefit for inhibition BRCA2-related cancer.
