In this video, Kevin Kalinsky, MD, discussed the approval of single agent pembrolizumab, which he said is agnostic to tumor histology, as well as the role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors for patients with BRCA mutations.
Kalinsky, an associate professor of medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, said in reference to presentations at 39th Miami Breast Conference, "If patients happen to have high tumor mutational burden or are MSI-high, there is an approval for single agent pembrolizumab that is agnostic to tumor histology."
