Ovarian cancer (OC) is gynecological cancer, and diagnosis and treatment are continuously advancing. Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based diagnoses have emerged as novel methods for identifying molecules and pathways in cancer research. The NGS-based applications have expanded in OC research for early detection and identification of aberrant genes and dysregulation pathways, demonstrating comprehensive views of the entire transcriptome, such as fusion genes, genetic mutations, and gene expression profiling. Coinciding with advances in NGS-based diagnosis, treatment strategies for OC, such as molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy, have also advanced. Immunotherapy is effective against many other cancers, and its efficacy against OC has also been demonstrated at the clinical phase. In this review, we describe several NGS-based applications for therapeutic targets of OC, and introduce current immunotherapeutic strategies, including vaccines, checkpoint inhibitors, and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell transplantation, for effective diagnosis and treatment of OC.
卵巢癌(OC)是一种妇科癌症,其诊断和治疗方法在不断进步。基于二代测序(NGS)的诊断已成为癌症研究中识别分子和通路的新方法。基于NGS的应用在OC研究中不断扩展,用于早期检测和识别异常基因及失调通路,展现了整个转录组的全貌,如融合基因、基因突变和基因表达谱。与基于NGS的诊断进展相契合,OC的治疗策略,如分子靶向治疗和免疫治疗,也取得了进展。免疫治疗对许多其他癌症有效,其对OC的疗效在临床阶段也得到了证实。在本综述中,我们描述了几种基于NGS的OC治疗靶点应用,并介绍了当前的免疫治疗策略,包括疫苗、检查点抑制剂和嵌合抗原受体(CAR)-T细胞移植,以实现OC的有效诊断和治疗。
