Ursula Matulonis Explains the Use of PARP Inhibitors for Ovarian Cancer

Ursula Matulonis, M.D., professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Medical Director of Gynecologic Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, explains the benefits of PARP inhibitors for patients with ovarian cancer.

PARP inhibitors work by blocking the repair of DNA within cancer cells, which then allows other DNA repair molecules to target the broken DNA strand.
