Abstract

Synthetic lethality has proven to be a tactical paradigm to design synergistic anticancer drug combinations. In this context, we leveraged BRCA2 and PARP as a synthetic lethal target pair to consolidate the use of small molecule inhibitors of RAD51-BRCA2 protein-protein interaction as inducers of…

Targeting RAD51-BRCA2 Interaction to Enhance Synthetic Lethality with Olaparib in Pancreatic Cancer: Development of a Novel Phenyl Furan-Quinoline-Carboxylic Acid Series. reports: Synthetic lethality has proven to be a tactical paradigm to design synergistic anticancer drug combinations. In this context, we leveraged BRCA2 and PARP as a synthetic lethal target pair to consolidate the use of small molecule inhibitors of RAD51-BRCA2 protein-protein interaction as inducers of the BRCAness phenotype that sensitizes BRCA2 -functional cancer cells to PARP inhibitors. Starting from compound 1 , a phenyl furan-carboxyquinoline, we developed a series of analogues, leading to derivative 19 .

Abstract

BackgroundWith widening therapeutic indications, germline genetic testing is offered to an increasing proportion of patients with breast cancer (BC) via mainstream oncology services. However, the gene set tested varies widely from just BRCA1/BRCA2 through to pan-cancer panels of near 100 genes. If a germline…

Breast cancer multigene germline panel testing in mainstream oncology based on clinical-public health utility (cancer mortality benefit): ESMO Precision Oncology Working Group recommendations reports: BackgroundWith widening therapeutic indications, germline genetic testing is offered to an increasing proportion of patients with breast cancer (BC) via mainstream oncology services. However, the gene set tested varies widely from just BRCA1/BRCA2 through to pan-cancer panels of near 100 genes. If a germline pathogenic variant (GPV) is detected, the BC proband and other family GPV-carriers may be offered interventions such as risk-reducing surgery and decades of intensive surveillance for the various cancers linked to that gene.

Abstract

There is little evidence on breast cancer (BC) diagnosed in women with a high genetic risk, before and after their inclusion in a long-term risk management program based on genetic risk assessment. We analyzed clinical outcomes in women enrolled in the Phare Grand Ouest…

From genetic risk to early detection - clinical outcomes of a person-centered screening program for women with a high genetic risk of breast cancer. reports: There is little evidence on breast cancer (BC) diagnosed in women with a high genetic risk, before and after their inclusion in a long-term risk management program based on genetic risk assessment. We analyzed clinical outcomes in women enrolled in the Phare Grand Ouest (PGO) program. The PGO includes carriers of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic variants (PV) and women at high risk without BRCA PV , enrolled in eight cancer genetics units.
