Résumé

Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), defined as BRCA1/2 mutation (BRCAmut) or high genomic instability, is used to identify ovarian cancer (OC) patients most likely to benefit from PARP inhibitors. While these tests are useful, they are imperfect. Another approach is to measure the capacity of tumor cells to form RAD51 foci in the presence of DNA damage using an immunofluorescence assay (IF). We aimed to describe for the first time this assay in OC and correlate it to platinum response and BRCAmut.
