The clinical and histologic features of eight cases of carcinoma of the endometrium which developed following radiation therapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix are described. No patient had a well-differentiated tumor and significant myometrial invasion was present in all cases. Three of the eight tumors were papillary serous adenocarcinoma. Five of the eight patients developed recurrent tumor and died of their disease. The risk of endometrial cancer in patients previously radiated for cervical cancer is evaluated.
Background: Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS), or malignant mixed Müllerian tumor, is a cancer that include both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components, resembling endometrial carcinoma. A 55-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. Gross examination of the specimen revealed brittle tissue in the fundus and the left wall of the endometrium.
Objective: To describe a patient conceiving with fertilization and embryo transfer(IVF-ET) after conservative treatment of early stage endometrial cancer.
Patient: A 31-year-old multiparous woman diagnosed with highly-differentiated (G1) endometrial adenocarcinoma (grade IA).
Interventions: After four courses of conservative treatment each followed by hysteroscopic biopsy and endometrial curettage,assisted reproductive technology was performed.
We report a case of placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) with transient hyperthyroidism. A 29-year-old gravida 2 para 2 woman presented with abnormal genital bleeding 6 months after delivery. Endometrial histology suggested PSTT.
Aim: Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the three most common gynecological malignancies. Thus, it is estimated that the mortality rates due to this disease will increase. Our aim is to study the immune microenvironment in all ECs together with Hematoxylin Eosin (H&E), immunohistochemical (IHC) and Biochemical parameters (NLR) and to evaluate their contribution to prognosis by comparing them with each other.

Objective: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the ninth most common malignancy among women. While mutations in JAK2 are frequently observed in EC, the specific biological functions of JAK2 in endometrial cancer are poorly understood.
Methods: The genetic alterations of JAK2 in different cancer types were explored using sequencing dataset deposited at TCGA database.
