Moreover, DNA damage has long been exploited in cancer chemotherapy and poly-adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors constitute a novel group of drugs for the targeted disruption of DNA repair phenomenon attributed to breast cancer. Several antiangiogenic drugs and PARP inhibitors are effectively used as sole agents for the therapeutic management of early breast cancer and breast cancer gene mutation–induced breast cancer, respectively. Whereas, other antiangiogenic agents are employed for the ancillary therapy of metastatic breast cancer in conjunction with chemotherapeutic drugs. Likewise, some PARP inhibitors are recommended as adjuncts to chemotherapy against the triple-negative form of breast cancer. Combinations of PARP inhibitors with immunotherapy have also demonstrated favorable outcomes and offer an efficient treatment strategy for breast cancer. Currently, the combinations of antiangiogenic agents and PARP inhibitors are under investigation for prospective synergistic or additive effects in breast cancer. Despite being suggested for high-risk patients, the prophylactic use of PARP inhibitors has not been supported by means of preclinical or clinical studies.
