Just read this, which sounds very encouraging, and thought the rest of you would be interested too!

It's about the results of a trial involving the PARP inhibitor niraparib, which appears to have had good results both in women with BRCA mutations and those without BRCA mutations.

I read another article which says that Tesaro will be filing for approval before the end of the year, so looks like it isn't one of those unicorn treatments which will only be available in a decade... thankfully! pmlive.com/pharma_news/tesa...
