Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

The PARP inhibitor olaparib is approved as a monotherapy for the maintenance treatment of primary peritoneal carcinoma that has previously responded sensitively to platinum-based chemotherapy (1, 2). Olaparib capsules are only used if a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes has previously been detected in the germ line or tumor in the patient concerned (3). Olaparib treatment provides longer progression-free survival.
