Defining DNA damage repair deficiency and replication stress in pancreatic cancer.

285 Background: Integrated multi-omic analyses revealed 24% of pancreatic cancer (PC) harbor defects in DNA damage response (DDR) and a subgroup demonstrate upregulation in replication stress pathways. DDR defective tumors preferentially respond to DNA damaging agents, and clinical responses to cell cycle inhibitors are seen in undefined subgroups, representing novel therapeutic strategies for PC. The aim of this study is to define and refine...
