Despite the study's limitations, to our knowledge, PROSPECT was the first attempt to describe the prevalence of HRRm in patients with PC from LAC. Notably, the germline HRRm prevalence in this study was inferior to that observed in North American and European populations. The somatic HRR testing barriers identified are being addressed by several projects to improve access to HRR testing and biomarker-based therapies in LAC.
