AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates the roles of β-catenin and L1CAM in type I Endometrial Carcinoma using 49 tissue samples to assess their impact on prognostic factors.
  • Results indicate that out of the samples, 34.7% presented lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), with a significant correlation found between β-catenin/L1CAM expression and both LVSI and metastasis (p <0.05).
  • The findings suggest that β-catenin and L1CAM are important biomarkers for predicting the progression of type I Endometrial Carcinoma, specifically regarding their involvement in metastasis and tumor development.

Article Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the expression of β-catenin and L1CAM in the type I of Endometrial Carcinoma.

Material And Methods: This study was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design using 49 samples of type I Endometrial Carcinoma. Immunohistochemical method was used to evaluate the expression of β-catenin and L1CAM related to two significant prognostic parameters i.e., lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) and metastases event of type I Endometrial Carcinoma samples.

Results: From all samples collected, based on the presence of LVSI, there were 17 cases (34.7%) with LVSI and 32 (65.3%) no LVSI. Among them, there were 13 cases that included lymph node or omental samples in type I Endometrial Carcinoma, 5 (38.5%) cases of metastasis, and 8 (61.5%) cases that did not metastasize. The statistical results showed that there was a significant correlation between β-catenin and L1CAM expressions examined from tumor cells with lymphovascular space invasion and the presence of metastases in the type I Endometrial Carcinoma (p <0.05).

Conclusion: This study suggest that the positive expression of β-catenin together with L1CAM can participate in the development of tumor cells in type I Endometrial Carcinoma, in its ability to involve lymphovascular space invasion, and metastases to other sites. Our results indicate that both of β-catenin and L1CAM are prominent biomarkers for the prognosis of type I Endometrial Carcinoma.

POLE status determination is necessary for the molecular classification of endometrial carcinomas (EC). However, this determination is only achievable by molecular techniques, which are not available in many practice settings. A previously published study reported elevated AMF/GPI and AMFR/gp78 levels in POLE-mutant EC.

Objective: Sarcopenia, a condition characterized by the gradual decline of muscle mass, strength, and function, is a key indicator of malnutrition in cancer patients and has been linked to poor prognoses in oncology. Sarcopenia is commonly assessed by measuring the skeletal muscle index (SMI) of the third lumbar spine (L3) using computed tomography (CT). This meta-analysis aimed to explore the relationship between low SMI and clinicopathological features, as well as prognosis, in individuals with endometrial cancer (EC).

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, such as exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon), liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), albiglutide (Tanzeum), dulaglutide (Trulicity), lixisenatide (Lyxumia, Adlyxin), semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy), and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), are widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. While these agents are well known for their metabolic benefits, there is growing interest in their potential effects on cancer biology. However, the role of GLP-1R agonists in cancer remains complex and not fully understood, particularly across different tumor types.

Importance: The goal of surgical deescalation is to minimize tissue damage, enhance patient outcomes, and reduce the adverse effects often associated with extensive or traditional surgical procedures. This shift toward less invasive techniques has the potential to revolutionize surgical practices, profoundly impacting the methods and training of future surgeons.

Objective: To evaluate adoption of surgical deescalation within the field of gynecologic oncology using The National Cancer Database.

Background: Endometrial cancer remains a significant health concern, with type 1 endometrial cancer characterized by aberrant expression of estrogen-dependent and mTOR pathway proteins. In this study, we evaluated the effects of two novel hydrazone derivatives against the Ishikawa cell line, a model for endometrial cancer.

Methods: Two novel hydrazone derivatives, MVB1 and MVB2, were synthesized and characterized.
