One reason for this drug as a promising target that has shown significant anti-tumor effects and has no side effects, but caused (not required for the operation appear healthy general) for those who have received the PARP inhibitor. If the studies show PARP, to be successful this time, one of the most exciting cancer treatments long as we have seen, for.
