The present invention relates to the recognition that inhibition of the base excision repair pathway is selectively lethal in cells which are deficient in HR dependent DNA DSB repair. Methods and means relating to the treatment of cancers which are deficient in HR dependent DNA DSB repair using inhibitors which target base excision repair components, such as PARP, is provided herein.
本发明涉及一种认识,即抑制碱基切除修复途径对缺乏 HR 依赖性 DNA DSB 修复的细胞具有选择性致死作用。本发明提供了使用靶向碱基切除修复成分(如 PARP)的
抑制剂治疗缺乏 HR 依赖性 DNA DSB 修复的癌症的方法和手段。
