Objectives: About 20% of endometrial cancer (EC) patients have advanced disease (FIGO III & IV) at the moment of diagnosis. An attempt to evaluate the prognostic value of biochemical markers of inflammation and classic endometrial cancer prognostic factors in the group of advanced EC (aEC) patients has been made in this study.
Material And Methods: Records of 266 patients treated in the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Centre and Institute of Oncology, Cracow Branch between the year 2006 and 2018 were included in the study. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 138 months. Progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) have been set as endpoints. Tests such as: chi-squared, Fisher, log-rank, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis and Cox proportional hazard ratio were used in the statistical analyses.
Results: In the analysed group high total platelet count (PLT) before operative treatment and high levels of white blood cells (WBC), PLT, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) before adjuvant therapy (AT) have been significantly associated with shorter PFS and OS. After setting the cut-off values of NLR and PLR a statistically significant correlation between those parameters and PFS as well as OS has been shown. Multivariate analysis has indicated that NLR is an independent prognostic factor of the course of aEC.
Conclusions: NLR and PLR correlate significantly with OS and PFS in aEC. NLR is an independent prognostic factor in this group. It is possible to distinguish 3 risk groups, among aEC patients, based on NRL and PLR.

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.

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.
