Abstract

Modulation of DNA repair pathways in oncology has been an area of intense interest in the last decade, not least as a consequence of the promising clinical activity of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. In this review article, we highlight inhibitors of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase related kinase (PIKK) family as of potential interest in the treatment of Cancer, both in combination with DNA-damaging therapies and as stand-alone agents.
