Objective: This study aimed to confirm that biglycan (BGN) can promote the migration and invasion in endometrial cancer both in vitro and in vivo and the possible therapeutic value of BGN in endometrial cancer.
Methods: Western blot was used to screen out the higher protein level of BGN in human endometrial cancer cells; BGN knocked down cells were constructed by lentiviral transfection; The effect of BGN in endometrial cancer detected by wound healing, transwell migration, and invasion, endothelial tube formation assay in vitro, and xenograft model in vivo.
Results: (1) We found that BGN expression level is higher in the Ishikawa (ISK, high differentiation) and AN3CA (poor differentiation) cells than other endometrial cancer cells. (2) BGN enhances endometrial cancer cell wound healing, invasion, and migration ability and formation ability of endothelial cells in vitro. Xenograft model has confirmed the outcome in vivo.
Conclusions: BGN might play an important role on metastasis in human endometrial cancer and it might be a target marker for the molecular therapy of advanced and recurrence endometrial cancer.

In the present case, a 66-year-old woman presented to the Specialty Hospital (Amman, Jordan) with recurrent post-menopausal bleeding. A pelvic ultrasound scan showed an abnormal endometrial thickness of 8 mm and no adnexal masses. An endometrial biopsy revealed abundant foamy histiocyte infiltration features suggestive of xanthogranulomatous endometritis.

Background: Female Lynch syndrome carriers have an increased risk of developing endometrial cancer. Regardless, research on endometrial carcinoma tumorigenesis is scarce and no uniform, evidence-based gynaecological management guidelines exist. We therefore described gynaecological surveillance and surgery outcomes in a nation-wide Lynch syndrome cohort.

Background: The causal relationship between percentage of fat in milk consumption and cancer risk lacks sufficient investigation. The purpose of this study was to explore whether the percentage of fat in milk consumption is a factor that affects the risk variation of several common types of cancer.
Methods: Mendelian randomization (MR) was performed to estimate the unconfounded causal relationship between the percentage of fat in milk consumption and the risk of six cancers related to milk intake, as well as to assess the associations between body fat percentage and these cancers.

Background: Chromosomal instability (CIN) has been identified as a factor that increases the susceptibility of tumor cells to kinesin family member 18A (KIF18A) inhibitors. Limited research exists on genes that are associated with sensitization to KIF18A inhibitors (KIF18Ais). Our study aimed to identify a gene linked to heightened sensitivity to KIF18Ais in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC) and uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC).
