Unlocking the Potential of Rucaparib: A Case Series on Its Impact in Metastatic Breast Cancer With Mutations.

Triple-negative breast cancer poses distinct challenges because it lacks hormone receptors and does not have human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) amplification. Mutations in BRCA1/2 genes are associated with homologous recombination deficiency tumors, rendering them susceptible to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. Notably, germline BRCA1/2 mutations are linked to distinct clinical features, including an increased risk of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and a younger age of onset.
