The DNA repair deficiency, called homologous recombination deficiency, or HRD, has previously been studied in only a few
cancers, but as researchers at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive
Cancer Center report, HRD can be found in all of the cancer types the researchers studied, including prostate, breast, pancreatic, and endometrial cancers as well as two of the more deadly types: ovarian cancer and glioma, a type of brain c
