Abstract

BRCA and Pancreatic Cancer

Muhammad Wasif Saif, Gregory T Brennan, Valerie Relias

Germline mutations in BRCA genes have been associated with pancreatic cancer. Laboratory and clinical data suggest thatpatients with BRCA mutations may be more responsive to therapy consisting of conventional chemotherapy with apoly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi). The most recent data from the 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology(ASCO) Annual Meeting will be reviewed (Abstracts #11024 and #TPS4144).
