Endometrial carcinoma is a life-threatening and aggressive tumor that affects women worldwide. ceRNAs and carcinoma-infiltrating immunocytes can be associated with tumor formation and progression. Therefore, investigating the unique mechanisms underlying endometrial carcinoma is crucial. Prognostic nomograms were constructed based on the differentially expressed genes between normal and tumor tissues. Twenty types of tumor immune infiltrating cells in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) were examined using CIBERSORT. To identify the potential signaling pathways, the associations among essential ceRNA network genes and important immunocytes were investigated using the co-expression assay. Differential analysis identified 3636 mRNAs, 249 miRNAs, and 252 lncRNAs unique to UCEC. The ceRNA network was constructed using the interplays between 19 lncRNA-miRNA pairs and 434 miRNA-mRNA pairs. Furthermore, CIBERSORT and ceRNA integration analysis revealed that immune cells, including dendritic cells and natural killer cells, and associated ceRNAs such as LRP8, HDGF, PPARGC1B, and TEAD1 can appropriately predict prognosis. A receiver operating characteristic curve was constructed to predict patient outcomes. Using a nomogram, we predicted the outcomes of patients with UCEC Furthermore, we revealed its significance in improving clinical management.

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 is the most common gynecological neoplasm with an increased incidence in the premenopausal population in recent decades. This raises the problem of managing endometrial cancer in fertile women who have not yet achieved pregnancy. In these women, after careful selection, hysterectomy may be postponed in favor of conservative management if specific requirements are met.

Immunotherapy, particularly that based on blocking checkpoint proteins in many tumors, including melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), triple-negative breast (TNB cancer), renal cancer, and gastrointestinal and endometrial neoplasms, is a therapeutic alternative to chemotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based therapies have the potential to target different pathways leading to the destruction of cancer cells. Although ICIs are an effective treatment strategy for patients with highly immune-infiltrated cancers, the development of different adverse effects including cutaneous adverse effects during and after the treatment with ICIs is common.

Objective: The study aims to construct a prognostic signature to detect the molecular interaction between the fatty acid metabolism and the progression of endometrial cancer.
Materials And Methods: A total of 309 fatty acid metabolism relative genes were analyzed in the endometrial cancer cohort from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Dataset GSE216872 was applied for external validation.

Objective: Approximately 10-15 % of endometrial cancer patients with tumors confined to the uterus (FIGO 2009 stage I) demonstrate recurrence and the oncologic outcomes are highly related to recurrence patterns. This study aimed to verify whether the FIGO 2023 staging system could discriminate outcomes.
Materials And Methods: Between January 2010 and March 2019, 536 FIGO 2009 stage I patients were eligible for this retrospective cohort study.
