Talking Prostate Cancer: Homologous Recombination Repair Gene Mutation Testing in Metastatic Prostate Cancer
AMA/ABS/ANCC Activity
The most recent guidelines recommend germline and/or somatic homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene panel testing to identify patients with metastatic prostate cancer that can benefit from poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. However, HRR gene mutation (HRRm) testing rates are low and as a result, many patients with metastatic prostate cancer are unable to avail of these new therapies that have the potential to improve survival outcomes. This has been attributed to limited awareness about testing, inadequate sample, challenges with reimbursement, lack of patient counseling, and costs. Improving clinician and allied healthcare professional familiarity with HRRm testing guidelines and implementation recommendations, is therefore of utmost importance.

In these Mini Modules, Drs. Andrew Armstrong and Tanya Dorff use a discussion and case-based format to clarify the rationale for HRRm testing in metastatic prostate cancer and ensure better integration of the latest guidelines for testing by addressing barriers. The overall aim is to enable appropriate utilization of HRRm testing to ultimately improve outcomes among patients.
