Researchers find ways to reduce side effects of breast, ovarian cancer treatment

Hindustan Times  

Certain anti-cancer medications also target healthy cells in addition to malignant cells. The mechanism of action of PARP inhibitors, which are specifically used for treating breast and ovarian cancer in individuals with the BRCA gene mutation, has been determined by a team from the University of Geneva in cooperation with Basel-based FoRx Therapeutics. The team observed that both inhibitors kill …
