Keywords
BRCA1/2, Breast cancer, Ovarian cancer, Platinum salts, PARP inhibitors
Brief summary
This study will investigate, in patients with germline BRCA-1/2 mutations and breast cancer, arising during and / or after treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy and / or with PARP-inhibitors for ovarian cancer, the presence of molecular alterations potentially involved in the mechanisms of resistance to antineoplastic treatment on breast and ovarian tumor tissue.
Interventions
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis with TruSight Oncology 500 (TSO 500) is performed on tumor samples from breast and ovarian cancer of the enrolled patients.
