Summary

This study monitors the safety and effectiveness of the drug olaparib (Lynparza) in people with ovarian, breast, prostate, or pancreatic cancer who are prescribed it as part of routine care in South Korea. Researchers will track side effects and how long the cancer stays under control without requiring extra study visits. The goal is to see how well the drug performs in everyday medical practice.
