Article Abstract

The incidence of endometrial cancer (EC) is rising and healthcare professionals need to be informed about the latest data on the constant developments in the field of its management. With particular interest in the classification and management of EC, we surveyed current literature, national and international data, and guidelines, as well as the latest studies to present the most recent data regarding the management of EC. It became evident that despite the consensus on low-risk EC, there are still controversies surrounding the management of high-risk EC, especially regarding the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Our aim is to present the old and new perspectives in the management of EC, the different available surgical routes, the possible desire for fertility preservation, the role of adjuvant therapies and the focus on the advantages and the limitations of the implementation of SLNB in therapeutic strategies. It became evident throughout our search and based on literature data that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) leads to satisfying outcomes, thus becoming gradually the preferred route of surgery, while SLNB could provide essential information and guidance about the overall management needed in cases of both low-risk and high-risk EC.

September 2025

Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, UT Health San Antonio, 7703 Floyd Curl Drive, 7836, San Antonio, TX, 78229-3900, USA.

To evaluate intraoperative ventilatory mechanics during robotic-assisted hysterectomy in obese women with endometrial cancer and introduce the concept of a physiologic "ceiling effect" in respiratory strain. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 89 women with biopsy-confirmed endometrial cancer who underwent robotic-assisted total hysterectomy between 2011 and 2015. Intraoperative ventilatory parameters, including plateau airway pressure and static lung compliance, were recorded at five-minute intervals.

Department of Radiology, Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital, College of Clinical Medicine for Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China.

Background: We aimed to develop and validate a radiomics-based machine learning nomogram using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging to preoperatively predict substantial lymphovascular space invasion in patients with endometrial cancer.

Methods: This retrospective dual-center study included patients with histologically confirmed endometrial cancer who underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patients were divided into training and test sets.

Serous endometrial carcinoma (SEC) is one of the most lethal types of uterine cancer, responsible for about 40% of all endometrial cancer-related deaths. Cell state dynamics during the early stages of SEC remain largely unknown, thereby hindering early detection and treatment of this disease. Here, we provide a comprehensive census of cell types and their states for normal, predysplastic, and dysplastic endometrium in a genetic mouse model of SEC.

Background: Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are safe and effective long-acting reversible contraceptive therapies that are also used as minimally invasive treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, and early-stage endometrial cancer. Despite many advantages, IUDs are underused predominantly due to patient discomfort. Although many techniques have been explored previously in the literature, there is currently little consensus on effective analgesic strategies.
