Ovarian Cancer Fallopian Tube Cancer Primary Peritoneal Cancer |
In this study, investigators plan to clarify the frequency of Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) in Japanese patients with ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer).
And investigators will also investigate whether HRD-positive ovarian cancer patients show the clinical characteristics of highly platinum-sensitivity and good prognosis, comparing to HRD-negative ovarian cancer patients.
In addition, it is planned to investigate any association between Progression Free Survival (PFS) / Platinum-Sensitivity and germline mutation in Breast Cancer Susceptibility Gene (BRCA1/2 gene) in ovarian cancer patients who can provide the patients' gBRCA1/2 gene information for this study.

Ovarian cancer group
Patients who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and have a plan of surgery.
|
- Frequency of HRD in patients with ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer) [ Time Frame: 17 months ]When all tumor samples are stored at ToMMo after the term of registration, DNA are extracted from frozen tumor tissue. These extracted tumor DNA, after confirmed at inspection body that it has constant qualities, are examined for HRD by DNA target sequencing.
- Association between Progression Free Survival (PFS) / Response Rate and HRD in patients with ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer) [ Time Frame: 48 months ]
PFS is calculated from registration date to the date diagnosed as progression or the date of death from any cause, whichever comes earlier. Response rate(RR) is determined the rate of patients who are evaluated of best overall response as CR(complete response) or PR(partial response) from those with measurable disease (based on Guidelines to Evaluate the Response to Treatment in Solid Tumors, RESIST).
Association between PFS/RR and HRD which is clarified as primary outcome is assessed.
- Association between Progression Free Survival (PFS) / Response Rate and germline mutation in BRCA1/2 gene in patients with ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer) [ Time Frame: 48 months ]
PFS is calculated from registration date diagnosed as having progression or the date of death from any cause, whichever comes earlier. Response rate(RR) is determined the rate of patients who are evaluated of best overall response as CR(complete response) or PR(partial response) from those with measurable disease (based on Guidelines to Evaluate the Response to Treatment in Solid Tumors, RESIST).
Association between PFS/RR and gBRCA1/2 gene information from patients who can provide their gBCRA1/2 gene information with their informed consent, is evaluated.
