Ovarian and endometrial cancers frequently harbor a mutation in the tumor suppressor gene TP53, which occurs in over 90 % of ovarian cancers and in the most aggressive endometrial cancers. The normal tumor suppressive functions of p53 are disrupted, resulting in unregulated cell growth and therapeutic resistance to standard treatments including chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors. Hence, a novel therapeutic strategy is urgently needed for p53 mutant gynecologic cancers, and we propose that converting mutant p53 to a wild type conformation and restoring its tumor suppressive functions has the potential to greatly improve treatment.

Objective: This study evaluated time to progression and post-recurrence disease-specific survival in molecularly classified endometrial carcinoma to improve understanding of disease biology and factors influencing tumor aggressiveness.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, immunohistochemistry and polymerase-ϵ (POLE) sequencing were used for molecular classification and determination of estrogen receptor and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression.

Results: We identified 1146 patients with molecularly classified endometrial carcinoma, of whom 220 (19.

Context: Pilomatrix-like high-grade endometrioid carcinoma (PiMHEC) represents a recently described, aggressive variant of endometrial carcinoma. Prior reports have linked PiMHEC with CTNNB1 exon 3 mutations and abnormal nuclear β-catenin expression.

Objective: We aimed to expand the understanding a potential subclassification of PiMHEC by analyzing three new cases that lack CTNNB1 mutations and β-catenin nuclear accumulation.
