Why are PARP inhibitors effective in killing tumor cells with BRCA-deficiency but not Rb deficiency? O PARP is a tumor suppressor that drives Rb-deficient tumor cells PARP inhibitors are effective in killing both BRCA-deficient and Rb-deficient tumor cells because they perform a similar function O PARP inhibitors are effective in killing cells that bypass cell cycle checkpoints O PARP inhibitors are effective in killing cells without redundant DNA repair mechanisms O PARP is an oncogene that drives BRCA-deficient tumor cells
