COMPROMISED CDK1 ACTIVITY SENSITIZES BRCA-PROFICIENT CANCERS TO PARP INHIBITION

Homologous recombination (HR)-defective cells, such as those lacking BRCA1/2, are hypersensitive to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition. However, BRCA-deficient tumors represent only a small fraction of adult cancers, potentially restricting the therapeutic utility of PARP inhibitor monot...
