Paolo Tarantino, MD, PhD, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, reviews the results of a large clinicogenomic database study that looked at overall survival by genomic profile among patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Patients with mutations in key DNA repair genes experienced a numerically worse prognosis, representing an unmet need for drug development, say researchers (Abstract 1045).
