Parp-inhibitors in the therapeutic landscape of breast cancer patients with BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic germline variants: An Italian consensus paper and critical review.

The introduction of PARP inhibitors has revolutionized the management and treatment of patients with pathogenic germline variants of BRCA1/2 who have developed breast cancer. The implementation of PARP inhibitors in clinical settings can be challenging due to their overlapping indications with other drugs, including both recently approved medications and those with proven efficacy. This study utilized the Delphi method to present the first Italian consensus regarding genetic testing, the use of PARP inhibitors in both early and metastatic settings, and strategies for managing the potential toxicity of these novel drugs.
