Retrospective Analysis of the Correlation of MSI-h/dMMR Status and Response to Therapy for Endometrial Cancer: RAME Study, a Multicenter Experience.

Background: There is poor evidence regarding sensitivity to chemotherapy in endometrial cancer (EC) based on microsatellite instability (MSI)/mismatch repair (MMR) status.

Methodology: The RAME study is a retrospective analysis aiming to assess response to chemotherapy in MSI-high (h)/deficient (d) MMR and MSI-low (l)/proficient (p) MMR EC patients. Primary endpoints were recurrence-free survival (RFS) for patients with localized disease and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced/recurrent disease.

Development and clinical application of a tool to identify frailty in elderly patients with gynecological cancers.

Objective: Frailty is more reliable than chronological age in predicting the effectiveness and tolerability of treatments in cancer patients. An increasing number of screening tools have been proposed, however none have received unanimous consent or been specifically designed for women with gynecological malignancies.This study's aim was to develop a clinical application of a screening tool to identify frail patients >70 years old diagnosed with either ovarian or endometrial cancers.

Immunohistochemical Markers and TILs Evaluation for Endometrial Carcinoma.

Objective: The molecular classification for endometrial cancer (EC) introduced by The Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network (TCGA) and the Proactive Molecular Risk Classifier for Endometrial Cancer (ProMisE) proved the existence of four molecular prognostic subtypes; however, both classifications require costly technology. We suggest a prognostic model for EC based on immunohistochemistry (IHC) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs).

Study Design: One hundred patients were included.
