Staging for endometrial carcinoma FIGO 2023 and its relevance for clinical practice.

Background: International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d'Obstétrique - FIGO) introduced a new staging system for endometrial carcinoma - FIGO 2023 - in June 2023.

Objective: The new staging system differs significantly from previous versions. The new system represents a significant departure from the traditional staging systems for other gynaecological cancers, as the definition of individual stages includes not only the traditional anatomical extent of the tumour, but also the molecular profile of the tumour and other histopathological parameters - histological type of tumour, tumour grade and the presence of substantial lymphovascular invasion.
