| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a novel treatment strategy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) consisting of dose-dense paclitaxel+carboplatin and bevacizumab that has anti-angiogenic activity for advanced ovarian cancer patients. This therapy was well tolerated, and a satisfactory rate of complete resection by interval debulking surgery (IDS) was achieved. We investigated an effective patient population for bevacizumab therapy with chemotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer, and found that some adverse events were high in Japanese population. We established diagnostic laparoscopic surgery as a minimally invasive method to determine the molecular biological characteristics of ovarian cancer, and searched for therapeutic targets by comprehensive genome sequencing using collected specimens.

近年のがん治療は臨床ゲノムシークエンスを用いたゲノムバイオマーカーの解析が進められ、個々の遺伝子情報に基づく薬剤選択を行う臓器横断的な治療開発にシフトしつつある。しかしながら、このような個別化治療の有用性については、臨床試験による科学的な検証が行われ始めたばかりであり、婦人科がんを対象としたデータは限定的である。本研究は生物学的に多様な卵巣癌における治療標的の探索、個別化治療の実現に有用なデータをもたらすものと考える。
