How Does It Work?

Rucaparib is a targeted anticancer medicine known as a PARP (Poly ADP-Ribose Polymerase) inhibitor. It works by blocking PARP enzymes that help repair damaged DNA in cancer cells. As a result, cancer cells are unable to repair themselves, leading to their destruction while limiting the growth and spread of the tumor.
