Prostate Cancer Patients With DNA Damage Repair Mutations May Respond to Platinum Chemo

Apr 23, 2020
|
staff reporter

NEW YORK – A subset of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who harbor DNA damage repair (DDR) gene mutations may have an improved response to platinum chemotherapy compared to those without such mutations, according to a study recently published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology: Precision Oncology.

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.
