Olaparib 150 mg – Targeted Therapy for BRCA-Related Cancers

Olaparib 150 mg is a targeted anti-cancer medicine used in patients with certain cancers linked to BRCA gene mutations or DNA repair pathway defects. It belongs to a class called PARP inhibitors, designed to prevent cancer cells from repairing damage, leading to cell death.

Olaparib is widely used in modern oncology for patients who may benefit from precision medicine based on genetic testing.
