Published: August 2022

(1) Background: The present study aimed to investigate the influence of forkhead box (FOX) on endometrial cancer (EC) progression. For a better understanding, the driving mechanisms are vital to identifying correlations between genes and their regulators. (2) Methods: The study enrolled one hundred and three white female patients with confirmed EC. For the analysis, we used next-generation sequencing with the Hot Spot Cancer Panel provided by Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA, and an immunohistochemical analysis of FOXA1, FOXP1, and estrogen receptors. (3) Results: FOXA1 silencing led to a worse outcome based on the correlation with FOXA1 (test log-rank = 0.04220 and HR 2.66, = 0.033). Moreover, FOX proteins were closely correlated with TP53 and KRAS mutation. (4) Conclusions: Our study confirmed previous reports about FOX box protein in the regulation of tumor growth. A remarkable observation about the unclear crosstalk with crucial genes, as TP53 and KRAS need deeper investigation.

Objective: The optimal treatment for patients with cervical stromal invasion (CSI) in endometrial cancer (EC) remains unclear. We aimed to test the prognostic role of molecular classification in EC patients with CSI.

Methods: A retrospective, multicenter review of EC patients with CSI was performed.

Purpose: This case report aims to present a rare case of endometrial carcinosarcoma, a highly malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. The primary objective is to describe this unique case's clinical presentation, multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features, typical histopathological characteristics and surgical treatment.

Methods: A detailed analysis of the patient's medical history, preoperative imaging evaluation, and treatment approach was conducted.

Lynch Syndrome: Similarities and Differences of Recommendations in Published Guidelines.

J Gastroenterol Hepatol

January 2025

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Hadassah Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel.

Background: In this review, we aimed to compare the recommendations for Lynch syndrome (LS).

Methods: We compared the LS's guidelines of different medical societies, including recommendations for cancer surveillance, aspirin treatment, and universal screening.

Results: Most guidelines for LS patients recommend intervals of 1-2 years for performing colonoscopy, though there is disagreement regarding the age to begin CRC screening (dependent on status as a MLH1/MSH2 or MSH6/PMS2 carrier).

Endometrial cancer is the most prevalent gynecologic cancer in the United States and has rising incidence and mortality. Endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia or atypical endometrial hyperplasia (EIN-AEH), a precancerous neoplasm, is surgically managed with hysterectomy in patients who have completed childbearing because of risk of progression to cancer. Concurrent endometrial carcinoma (EC) is also present on hysterectomy specimens in up to 50% of cases.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynaecological malignancy associated with metabolic dysfunctions such as obesity, diabetes and insulin resistance, as well as hormonal imbalances, particularly involving oestrogen and progesterone. These factors disrupt normal cellular metabolism, heightening the risk of developing endometrioid EC (EEC), the most prevalent subtype of EC. The insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) pathway, a key regulator of growth, metabolism, and organ function, is implicated in EC progression.
