Journal Journal of Clinical Oncology.Approximately a quarter of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer have genomic alterations within the homologous recombination repair pathway with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors as corresponding treatment options. How to incorporate genomic information and associated therapeutic options into treatment decision making and sequencing of therapies in prostate cancer remains challenging. Men with alterations seem to derive the most benefit from PARP inhibitors, and although early treatment in combination with standard therapies has not yet shown an overall survival benefit, there may be other benefits to incorporating PARP inhibitors early for some men.
