Abstract:
Frequent and with an increasing incidence in some territories, endometrial cancer is a complex disease leading to significant morbidity among affected patients. After years of research and the implementation of state-of-the-art molecular and gene assays significant breakthroughs were made. Through a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of uterine carcinogenesis, a more precise and personalized risk stratification and the incorporation of immunotherapy, the treatment of endometrial cancer is experiencing significant improvements. This evolution, caries the genuine hope for an accurate selection of patients based on specific cancer-related characteristics, to tailor both treatment intensity and selection.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
