Abstract

Background. PARP inhibitor olaparib shows encouraging results in the treatment of patients with BRCA-associated tumors. The detection of new tumors associated with abnormalities of the BRCA gene, also can lead to the expansion of PARP inhibitors application. The application of PARP inhibitors improved treatment outcomes for ovarian, breast, prostate and pancreatic cancers in comparison with standard drug therapy regimens, demonstrating the moderate toxicity profile. All this makes olaparib the significant option in planning the tactics of treatment of this category of patients.
