Abstract

While PARP inhibitors such as rucaparib and olaparib have shown activity in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, they have failed to show a clear improvement in hard outcomes such as overall survival or quality of life.

Because of methodological limitations, we suggest caution before implementing these treatments in routine clinical practice; offering them to patients without a BRCA1/2 mutation is probably inappropriate.
