Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal malignant tumors, characterized by high incidence and poor prognosis. Patients relapse occurred in 65-80% after initial treatment. To date, no effective treatment has been established for these patients. Recently, CD47 has been considered as a promising immunotherapy target. In this paper, we reviewed the biological roles of CD47 in ovarian cancer and summarized the related mechanisms. For most types of cancers, the CD47/Sirpα immune checkpoint has attracted the most attention in immunotherapy. Notably, CD47 monoclonal antibodies and related molecules are promising in the immunotherapy of ovarian cancer, and further research is needed. In the future, new immunotherapy regimens targeting CD47 can be applied to the clinical treatment of ovarian cancer patients.
卵巢癌是最致命的恶性肿瘤之一,其特征是发病率高和预后差。患者在初始治疗后 65-80%会复发。迄今为止,对于这些患者尚未确立有效的治疗方法。最近,CD47 被认为是一种很有前途的免疫治疗靶点。在本文中,我们综述了 CD47 在卵巢癌中的生物学作用,并总结了相关机制。对于大多数类型的癌症,CD47/Sirpα 免疫检查点在免疫治疗中受到了最多的关注。值得注意的是,CD47 单克隆抗体及相关分子在卵巢癌的免疫治疗中具有广阔的应用前景,需要进一步研究。未来,针对 CD47 的新型免疫治疗方案可应用于卵巢癌患者的临床治疗。
