Cytotoxic and targeted therapy for hereditary cancers

Abstract: There is a number of drugs demonstrating specific activity towards hereditary cancers. For example, tumors in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers usually arise via somatic inactivation of the remaining BRCA allele, which makes them particularly sensitive to platinum-based drugs, PARP inhibitors (PARPi), mitomycin C, liposomal doxorubicin, etc. There are several molecular assays for BRCA-ness, which permit to reveal BRCA-like phenocopies among sporadic tumors and thus extend clinical indications for the use of BRCA-speci… Show more

“…3 Primary debulking surgery followed by adjuvant platinumbased therapy is a preferable treatment strategy for women, in whom both the disease spread and the pattern of comorbidities are compatible with complete surgical removal of the tumor masses. In many instances, even extensive surgery cannot result in optimal debulking and/or the risk of serious perioperative complications is unacceptably high.…”

“…BRCA1 is essential for taxane-driven apoptosis. There is laboratory and clinical evidence suggesting inferiority of taxane-based drug schemes compared with taxane-free drug combinations in BRCA1 -associated tumors 6. This study did not have sufficient power to compare the efficacy of therapies with and without taxanes in BRCA1 mutation carriers.…”

“…Эти опухоли ха-рактеризуются выраженной геномной нестабильностью и достаточно агрессивным течением. BRCA2-ассоции-рованные карциномы демонстрируют избирательную чувствительность к производным платины и ингибито-рам фермента PARP [3].…”
