PROfound provides the highest level of evidence for the use of a poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitor in prostate cancer so far. It is an undoubtedly positive trial, but it also clearly shows the complexity of precision oncology for prostate cancer and the challenges of translating genomics into treatment for metastatic castration-resistant disease.
