Prostate cancers in patients with a mutation in BRCA2 have earlier disease onset and an aggressive course, often necessitating the use of systemic therapy. However, these tumours are DNA repair-defective and could respond favourably to Parp inhibitors or DNA-damaging agents, depending on the therapeutic ratio (ratio of tumour response to normal tissue toxicity). We describe 3 patients treated with precision radiotherapy or cisplatin who responded favourably to both agents, yet did not suffer undue toxicity. We review the concept of treating such patients with agents that are selectively toxic to repair-deficient tumours.
携带BRCA2基因突变的前列腺癌患者发病更早,病程侵袭性强,常需进行全身治疗。然而,这些肿瘤存在DNA修复缺陷,根据治疗指数(肿瘤反应与正常组织毒性的比值),可能对聚(ADP-核糖)聚合酶(Parp)抑制剂或DNA损伤剂有良好反应。我们描述了3例接受精确放疗或顺铂治疗的患者,他们对这两种药物均有良好反应,且未出现过度毒性。我们回顾了用对修复缺陷肿瘤具有选择性毒性的药物治疗此类患者的概念。
