Background: There are limited data around adjuvant radiotherapy following surgical management for patients with early-stage uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS). We compared outcomes for patients with early-stage UCS who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) and pelvic external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) vs. CT and vaginal brachytherapy (VBT) vs.

Uterine serous carcinoma and uterine carcinosarcoma are among the rarest but most lethal endometrial cancer sub-types, accounting for 15% of all cases, and are responsible for more than 50% of related deaths. These malignancies are distinguished by a high likelihood of metastasis and multisite recurrence, making them biologically different from other endometrial cancer sub-types. This review aims to analyze the existing evidence regarding molecular classification, new biomarkers, and innovative treatment approaches for these high-risk tumors.

Carcinosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignant neoplasm that predominantly affects elderly postmenopausal women and can involve various gynecologic organs. It is characterized by the presence of both malignant epithelial and sarcomatous components. While most uterine carcinosarcomas (UCS) are homologous (sarcomatous component consisting of elements native to the uterus), heterologous components are less common and may vary in composition.

Breast cancer has constantly been the leading causes of death in women, and hormone receptor (HR) positive, HER2 negative is the majority subtype. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (HDACi) have shown clinical benefit in HR ( +) breast cancer patients. The Hippo pathway is an important cellular pathway involving proliferation, cell contact, and cancer.

Background/objectives: Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) refers to a rare high-grade aggressive epithelial non-endometrioid endometrial carcinoma, with tumour cells demonstrating epithelial-mesenchymal metaplastic transition and composed of both carcinomatous epithelial and sarcomatous (homologous or heterologous) components.
Methods: The aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiology, management approach, outcomes and survival patterns of patients with UCS. Seventy-seven cases of UCS treated with primary surgery in a single tertiary centre underwent retrospective cohort analysis across a ten-year period.
