In developed countries, breast cancer affects about one in ten women, and in many of these countries the disease is on the increase.
Both research teams describe how the use of a chemical inhibitor can kill tumor cells that have either a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene defect causing hereditary breast cancer.
The discovery could also work to prevent hereditary breast cancer cells from growing into tumors.
We have shown that PARP inhibitors are effective at killing BRCA2-defective breast cancer cells, and that the tumors they cause can fully regress and disappear following treatment with a PARP inhibitor.
We are now initiating clinical trials to determine how efficient these PARP inhibitors are in the treatment of metastasized breast tumors.
It is possible that highly metastasized breast tumors might have acquired additional genetic changes causing resistance to treatment with PARP inhibitors.
Therefore, we suggest that PARP inhibitors might be more useful in the prophylactic treatment of women carrying the gene responsible for this form of inherited breast cancer.
Thus, while the use of PARP inhibitors to treat established tumors may be feasible within a few years, we could have to wait at least a decade before a prophylactic treatment for inherited breast cancer is widely available.

TORONTO - Breast-cancer screening has long been viewed as one of the most important tools for reducing mortality from the disease.
That is why recent doubts about its effectiveness - intensified by the publication in February of the 25-year follow-up to the Canadian National Breast Screening Study - have come as such a shock.
How can breast-cancer screening, which facilitates early detection of the disease, not prevent deaths from it?
A mammogram (x-ray of the breast) is administered to ostensibly healthy people to detect unsuspected disease.
The first limitation of breast-cancer screening is obvious: where effective diagnosis and treatment are not available, screening cannot have any impact.
But there is more to the issue - namely, whether screening ultimately fulfills its intended purpose of reducing breast-cancer mortality rates.
More important, none has found a reduction in advanced breast cancer in the screened groups - a requirement to deem screening effective.
Such trials begin with the selection of women at risk of developing breast cancer, and randomly allocate them to be screened or not.
Any woman in either group who develops breast cancer is treated to the fullest extent possible, following the closest possible treatment plan to other participants in the trial (taking into consideration the stage of the disease at diagnosis).
The first was in New York in the 1960s, using annual mammograms and breast examinations for the screened group.
The second, the Canadian National Breast Screening Study, which began in the 1980s, also used annual mammograms and breast examinations for the screened group.
