Homologous recombination inquiry through ovarian malignancy investigations: JGOG3025 Study.

ABSTRACT: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) network has clarified that ~50% of high-grade serous ovarian cancers show homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). However, the frequency of HRD in Japanese patients with ovarian cancer remains unclear. We aimed to identify the frequency of HR-associated gene mutations in Japanese patients with ovarian cancer. The JGOG3025 study is a multicenter collaborative prospective observational study involving 65 study sites throughout Japan. We recruited 996 patients who were clinically diagnosed with ovarian cancer before surgery from March 2017 to March 2019, and 701 patients were eligible according to the criteria. We used frozen tumor tissues to extract DNA and performed next-generation sequencing for 51 targeted genes (including 29 HR-associated genes) in 701 o
