Exploiting DNA damage without repair: The activity of platinum chemotherapy in BRCA‐mutated prostate cancers

Abstract: The report in this issue by Pomerantz and colleagues demonstrates that men with metastatic prostate cancer harboring germline BRCA2 mutations are strongly associated with a prostate‐specific antigen response ≥50% during treatment with a platinum agent. However, more work will be required to classify other men who might benefit from platinum agents. See also pages 3532‐9.

“…A second wave of discoveries linked more complex genomic alterations to specific drug allocations. Examples were the use of immunotherapies in patients with high tumour mutational burden (TMB), 8 PARP inhibitors or platinum compounds in patients with genome-wide traits of DNA damage repair (DDR) impairment, 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 or those associations of a specific gain-of-function or loss-of-function event with high sensitivity to an agent that targets a pathway different to that in where the mutations lie. 13 Currently, a third wave of studies is trying to find associations between genomes lacking alterations of the former types and response to specific drugs or drug combinations.…”

“…Nestes pacientes, foram identificados oito com variantes no gene BRCA, sendo que seis desses oito homens (75%) com essas mutações no BRCA2 tiveram uma maior resposta do antígeno específico da próstata (PSA) ≥50% dentro de 12 semanas de terapia em comparação com homens que não possuíam essa variação. 7 Diante do exposto o presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre as mutações nos genes BRCA e verificar sua associação com a predisposição ao câncer de próstata bem como o prognóstico e a sobrevida dos pacientes.…”
