Integration of Clinical and Molecular Features into Prediction Models for Outcomes in Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial cancer recurrence carries a poor prognosis. The rising incidence of endometrial cancer calls for improvements in treatment of advanced and recurrent diseases. Efforts have been made to molecularly characterize endometrial cancer with the goal of improving therapies. The study presented here describes the utilization of molecular features of endometrial cancer tumors that are likely to recur, along with clinical characteristics utilized together to predict recurrence. This work further studies recurrent endometrial cancers to group them into “clusters” based on the tumor’s molecular makeups with the ultimate aim to focus therapy on the molecular pathways potentially leading to recurrence.
