Understanding homologous recombination repair deficiency in biliary tract cancers: clinical implications and correlation with platinum sensitivity.

Patients with HRRm with BTC showed a potential advantage in OS following platinum-based first-line chemotherapy, presumably attributed to enhanced opportunities for targetable coalterations. Further investigation is needed to outline HRR within the scope of BTCs and detail a clinically meaningful sensitivity to platinum agents or targeted approaches with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors.
