| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our idea is to screen for endometrial cancer, which has been increasing in recent years, and cervical adenocarcinoma, which is often found in the advanced stage, using microRNA. A highly sensitive method for screening a large number of cancers for microRNA in blood has already been established, and it is considered that clinical application will be made. In this study, we attempted to use samples of abnormal bleeding from the uterus to screen for these cancers non-invasively. It is expected that clinical application will be made in the future.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年増加している子宮体癌と進行期で発見されることが多い子宮頚部腺癌についてマイクロRNAを用いてスクリーニングを行うという画期的なアイデアである。血液中のマイクロRNAについて高感度で多数の癌についてのスクリーニングを行う方法はすでに確立されており、臨床応用がなされるであろうと考えられる。本研究では子宮の不正出血検体を用いて非侵襲的にこれらの癌のスクリーニングを行うという方法である。今後、臨床応用がなされることが期待される。
