BRCA1 Methylation Level May Predict Which Ovarian Cancer Patients Respond to PARP Inhibitors

Sep 28, 2018
|
staff reporter

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – The extent to which the BRCA1 promoter is methylated could signal an ovarian tumor's susceptibility to PARP inhibitor treatment, a new study has found.

PARP inhibitor treatment has been effective in treating some patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma with defective DNA repair. But not all patients respond as expected.

ctDNA MRD Detection and Personalized Oncogenomic Analysis in Colorectal Cancer

Sponsored by
Roche

This webinar will discuss findings from the study, in which molecular residual disease (MRD) was assessed using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) without prior mutational knowledge in oligometastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who had received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This study also investigated urine as an alternative analyte for ctDNA MRD detection.
