Abstract:
Treatment of metastatic prostate cancer has evolved significantly over the past decade. Palliative therapy has, historically, consisted of androgen deprivation, chemotherapy and different radiation therapy approaches. More recently, breakthrough therapy with the use of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors has led to significant improvement in the outcome of patients with metastatic prostate cancer who harbor certain genetic mutations. This concise review focuses on the 3 PARP inhibitors that have shown activity in metastatic prostate cancer.
