DOI: 10.1038/ncomms13671
Abstract: Germline mutations in the BRCA2 tumour suppressor are associated with both an increased lifetime risk of developing prostate cancer (PCa) and increased risk of aggressive disease. To understand this aggression, here we profile the genomes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1158/1538-7445.pancreatic24-a080
Abstract: Introduction: BRCA1/2 mutations in pts with PDAC predict for an improved tumor response, higher median time to progression (TTP), and longer median overall survival (mOS) with platinum-based therapy (tx) as compared to non-platinum-based tx. We… read more here.
