Molecular Landscape of the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Endometrioid Endometrial Cancer.

Modern diagnostics are based on molecular analysis and have been focused on searching for new molecular markers to use in diagnostics. Included in this has been the search for the correlation between gene expression in tissue samples and liquid biological materials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in the expression profile of messenger RNA (mRNA) and micro-RNA (miRNA) related to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in different grades of endometrial cancer (G1-G3), in order to select the most promising molecular markers.
