Abstract
Introduction and objective
Mexico reported 26,742 new cases of prostate cancer in 2020. Different risk factors have been identified in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer. Among them, genetic factors and alterations or mutations in specific genes have been described in different ethnic groups worldwide. The aim of our study is to report the prevalence of germline DNA-repair gene mutations in Mexican patients with prostate cancer.
Material and method
We performed germline genetic testing in 50 patients with localized prostate cancer and 50 patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Demographic, clinical, and histopathological data were collected.
Results
Thirty-seven germline mutations were identified in 32 patients. The most commonly affected genes were ATM in 6%, followed by FANCA (5%), and ATR (4%). BRCA2 mutations were identified in 3%. The frequency of mutations was higher in the metastatic group.
Discussion and Conclusion
The results of our study show different mutations from those reported in different populations or regions. The use of PARP inhibitors is indicated in patients with germline mutations, specifically BRCA2, showing improvement in overall survival and progression free survival. To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the prevalence of mutations in DNA-repair genes in Mexican patients with prostate cancer.
期刊介绍:
Actas Urológicas Españolas is an international journal dedicated to urological diseases and renal transplant. It has been the official publication of the Spanish Urology Association since 1974 and of the American Urology Confederation since 2008. Its articles cover all aspects related to urology.
Actas Urológicas Españolas, governed by the peer review system (double blinded), is published online in Spanish and English. Consequently, manuscripts may be sent in Spanish or English and bidirectional free cost translation will be provided.
