    • Abstract:
      This article discusses a study that aimed to identify factors that influence the success rate and time-to-result of testing for tumour homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in patients with advanced high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer. The study found that samples taken during surgery had a higher test success rate compared to those obtained using ultrasound-guided biopsy. Additionally, diagnostic biopsies taken with a larger needle gauge resulted in greater rates of test success. The article concludes that by optimizing HRD testing, treatment can be optimized at the earliest possible timepoint. [Extracted from the article]
