The present invention relates to treatment of Trop-2 positive cancers with the combination of anti-Trop-2 ADC and a Rad51 inhibitor. Preferably the drug conjugated to the antibody is SN-38, and the ADC is sacituzumab govitecan. The ADC may be administered at a dosage of between 4 mg/kg and 16 mg/kg, preferably 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, or 16 mg/kg. When administered at specified dosages and schedules, the combination of ADC and Rad51 inhibitor can reduce solid tumors in size, reduce or eliminate metastases and is effective to treat cancers resistant to standard therapies, such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Surprisingly, the combination is effective to treat cancers that are refractory to or relapsed from irinotecan or topotecan.
