Inclusion Criteria:

        A patient will be eligible for inclusion only if all of the following criteria are
        fulfilled:

          3. Patient consents to perform HRD test.

               -  Patients with known BRCA status: BRCA positive patients must submit the tissue
                  for HRD test, though these patients need not to wait for HRD test results and can
                  be randomized in HRD positive stratum.
