VEGF pathway inhibition potentiates PARP inhibitor efficacy in ovarian cancer independent of BRCA status
Abstract Poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) have transformed ovarian cancer (OC) treatment, primarily for tumours deficient in homologous recombination repair. Combining VEGF-signalling inhibitors with PARPi has enhanced clinical benefit in OC. To study drivers of efficacy when combining...
