ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Several prostate cancers carry homologous recombination repair mutations that respond to olaparib. Because of the mechanism, the efficacy of platinum-based therapy can be used to predict the efficacy of poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitors such as olaparib. Case presentation We experienced two neuroendocrine prostate cancer patients who achieved a response duration of more than 1 year with platinum-based therapy. Case 1 had a BRCA2 mutation in the germline and case 2 had a BRCA2 mutation in a somatic chromosome only. Both patients responded well to olaparib.Conclusion:
Cisplatin and olaparib may overlap in response due to their medicinal action. It may be useful to consider genetic testing in some CRPC patients who have responded to cisplatin.
