Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the rates of MMRd or MSI-H endometrial cancer (EC) tumors, prevalence of Lynch Syndrome (LS), and the adherence to genetic evaluation guidelines among women with EC from 2013 to 2019.
- Among 286 women, 27.5% of the 80 tested tumors were MMRd or MSI-H, while no LS cases were found in the 21 women who underwent germline testing.
- After NCCN's universal tumor testing recommendation, testing rates rose from 17.6% to 60%, with advanced cancer stage linked to a higher likelihood of testing, highlighting the need to improve care protocols despite no disparities in evaluation identified.
