BRCA1- and BRCA2-related mutations: therapeutic implications in ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest among gynecologic cancers. Hereditary cancer related to BRCA1/2 gene mutations account for ~10%-12% of ovarian cancers. The BRCA1/2 proteins are important in homologous recombination (HR) repair of DNA. Patients with BRCA1/2 mutations have been reported to have improved chemosensitivity to platinum agents, longer disease-free intervals, and longer survivals than nonhereditary counterparts. Recent interest in poly(ADP-ribosyl) polymerase (PARP) proteins which are key components of base excision repair, has led to the development of PARP inhibitors; tumors arising in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and/or with HR deficiency (HRD) are particularly sensitive to the action of these drugs. As 60%-80% of all advanced ovarian cancers are high-grade serous type, exhibiting HRD in at least 50% (referred as BRCAness) future antitumor strategies may depend on identifying these defects through molecular testing. Once HRD becomes amenable to routine testing, a larger group of ovarian cancer patients than are currently considered for PARP inhibitor trials, may benefit from such targeted therapy.
