Genome destabilization-associated phenotypes arising as a consequence of therapeutic treatment are suppressed by Olaparib.

Malignancy is often associated with therapeutic resistance and metastasis, usually arising after therapeutic treatment. These include radio- and chemo-therapies, which cause cancer cell death by inducing DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). However, it is still unclear how resistance to these DSBs is induced and whether it can be suppressed.
