High response rates to neoadjuvant platinum-based therapy in ovarian cancer patients carrying germ-line BRCA mutation
Highlights • Ovarian carcinomas arising in BRCA1/2 germ-line mutation carriers show high sensitivity to platinum-based neoadjuvant therapy. • Chemonaive hereditary ovarian cancers frequently demonstrate somatic loss of the wild-type BRCA1 allele. • Platinum therapy results in a rapid selection of tu...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • Ovarian carcinomas arising in BRCA1/2 germ-line mutation carriers show high sensitivity to platinum-based neoadjuvant therapy. • Chemonaive hereditary ovarian cancers frequently demonstrate somatic loss of the wild-type BRCA1 allele. • Platinum therapy results in a rapid selection of tumor cell clones with restored heterozygous BRCA1 status. |
