Abstract

The addition of targeted agents to the armamentarium of therapies for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), like in other types of breast cancer, has improved the overall survival of patients affected with advanced disease. Inhibitors of the poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP inhibitors) block an important enzyme involved in the repair mechanism of DNA damage in cells. Following the findings of the olympiad phase 3 clinical trial, Olaparib was the first targeted therapy to be approved in the treatment of metastatic TNBC.
