Dr. Joanne Blum on the Function of Talazoparib in Locally Advanced and/or Metastatic Breast Cancer

Joanne Blum, MD, PhD, breast medical oncologist, director, Hereditary Cancer Risk Program, Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center, discusses the function of the oral PARP inhibitor talazoparib (BMN 673) in BRCA mutation subjects with locally advanced and/or metastatic breast cancer. Blum says the BRCA mutation works in combination with talazoparib in order to better cut off the appropriate pathways for the tumors.
