Tamoxifen (TAM) is the endocrine treatment of choice in the first-line therapy for all stages of breast cancer, in both pre- and postmenopausal women. Some clinical studies indicated a small but significant increase in the risk of subsequent endometrial carcinoma in breast cancer women who take TAM as an adjuvant therapy. In this study, we present two cases of breast cancer patients in whom endometrial cancer was diagnosed during TAM treatment; the current status of knowledge on the relationship between TAM use and the risk of endometrial cancer is reviewed.

Adjuvant Therapy in Early Uterine Serous Carcinoma.

Division of Gynecologic Oncology, UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, Pittsburgh PA, USA.
Objective: Uterine serous carcinoma (USC) is a rare diagnosis but associated with high mortality. There is limited data to guide adjuvant treatment decisions in early stage disease. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of adjuvant therapy on recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in early stage USC.

Cuproptosis, a recently discovered form of cell death, has emerged as a crucial player in tumor development, although its role in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) remains inadequately explored. This study aims to identify prognostically relevant cuproptosis-related genes in endometrial cancer. Cuproptosis-related genes were sourced from previously published studies and the FerrDb database.

Cancer cells in the right subdiaphragmatic lavage may reflect peritoneal dissemination, but its prognostic significance is unknown. This study investigated recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and recurrence patterns in patients with curatively resected endometrial cancer by cytology collection site. Peritoneal cytology was collected at the beginning of surgery by washing the pelvic and right subdiaphragmatic cavity separately.

Objectives: To investigate the impact of compressed sensing - sensitivity encoding (CS-SENSE) acceleration factor on the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within standard female pelvis protocol in patients with endometrial cancer.
Methods: T2-weighted turbo spin echo (TSE) sequence from standard female pelvic MRI protocol was chosen due to its long acquisition time and essential role in the evaluation of morphological characteristics of the female pelvic anatomical structures. Fully sampled reference scans and multiple prospectively 2x to 5x under-sampled CS-SENSE scans were acquired.
Cystic Spaces in the Endometrium on Ultrasound and Correlations With Pathological Diagnosis: A Contemporary Retrospective Cohort Study in a Tertiary Centre.

Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Objectives: To determine the correlation between the ultrasound finding of cystic spaces in the endometrium and endometrial hyperplasia or cancer.
Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study at a tertiary teaching hospital in Victoria, Australia, between January 2014 and December 2016. Patients who had a tertiary ultrasound where the endometrium was assessed and underwent endometrial sampling in the subsequent year were included.
