Systematic Literature Review of the Epidemiology of Advanced Prostate Cancer and Associated Homologous Recombination Repair Gene Alterations

Published real-world evidence quantifying the prevalence of advanced prostate cancer and HRRm beyond mCRPC is sparse. Published data on HRRm, specifically BRCA2, are consistent with published clinical trial data for poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors in mCRPC. In mCRPC, real-world evidence suggests that patients with HRRm have different clinical outcomes to noncarriers. More data are needed to better understand real-world patient segmentation and clinical outcomes for biomarkers given increasing interest in profiling.
