Purpose Selective tumor cell cytotoxicity can be achieved through a synthetic lethal strategy
using poly (ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor therapy in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers
in whom tumor cells have defective homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair. Platinum-
based chemotherapy responses correlate with HR DNA repair capacity. Olaparib is a potent,
oral PARP inhibitor that is well tolerated, with antitumor activity in BRCA1/2 mutation
carriers.
