: Advances in endometrial cancer treatment, such as minimally invasive surgery and the introduction of targeted therapies, could influence survivorship and result in changes in issues experienced by survivors of endometrial cancer. To improve endometrial cancer survivorship, it is first necessary to understand it. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe contemporary endometrial cancer survivorship issues. : This study involved an umbrella review and cross-sectional survey of healthcare professionals. The umbrella review involved searching Medline (2013-2023) to identify published reviews describing survivorship outcomes in endometrial cancer survivors. Articles were screened and survivorship outcomes were extracted. Healthcare professionals working with patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer were asked to (1) rate the relevance of each survivorship outcome identified in the review, and (2) list any additional issues considered of clinical relevance. : Following the screening of 201 articles (159 papers excluded: = 1 duplicate; = 158 ineligible), 42 review articles were included and 25 survivorship outcomes identified including physical health (e.g., fatigue, pain), fertility (e.g., parity), quality of life (e.g., cognitive wellbeing), treatment-related toxicities, and mental health outcomes (e.g., anxiety). The cross-sectional survey was completed by 37 healthcare professionals (two-thirds being medical oncologists or gynaecological oncologists) working across Australia and New Zealand, with outcomes rated as relevant by 30% (for cachexia) to 100% (for body weight/obesity and functional wellbeing of respondents. An additional 28 survivorship issues not identified in the review were reported by healthcare professionals. : The current endometrial cancer survivorship literature is limited. The review, together with expert input from healthcare professionals, identified 53 survivorship issues. These findings will now inform development of a survey to explore the frequency, impact, and severity of survivorship issues from the perspective of endometrial cancer survivors, the results of which will guide the provision of supportive cancer care, in addition to guiding research and clinical practice.

Objective: Endometrial cancer (EC) and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) affect women of all ages, and the incidence of endometrial cancer in premenopausal women is rising. Menopause can be detrimental to longevity and quality of life, but evidence suggests estrogen therapy (ET) is safe in these patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the practice patterns of gynecologists and gynecologic oncologists (GYO) in the United States in regards to prescription of ET to gynecologic cancer patients.

Gynecological cancer, encompassing cancers such as endometrial and cervical cancer, is a growing concern worldwide, with a rising incidence and significant impact on women's health. Pterostilbene (PT), a natural compound, has shown promising therapeutic potential in gynecological cancer treatment. This review aims to summarize the current state of knowledge on PT's effects in gynecological cancer, focusing on its molecular mechanisms, preclinical studies, and clinical trials.

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.

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.
