Endometrial cancer is the most frequently diagnosed gynecological cancer. The aim of this study was to summarize and compare the most recent guidelines regarding its management. A comparative review of guidelines from the European Society of Gynecological Oncology, the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology, the European Society of Pathology, the European Society for Medical Oncology, the Cancer Council of Australia, the British Gynecological Cancer Society, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists was carried out. The comparison of guidelines highlighted common recommendations and key differences regarding the most basic aspects of endometrial cancer management. Certain differences were identified in the options of surgical procedures based on endometrial biopsy and lymph node infiltration. Minor differences were identified in the management of recurrent disease, while the more pronounced differences were found in the follow-up procedure. The development of consistent international protocols in similar resource settings may lead to a more consistent classification, as well as to common lines regarding surgical approaches, risk stratification and the way patients should be monitored following the remission of endometrial cancer.

Background: Uterine clear cell carcinoma (UCCC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of endometrial cancer, often presenting at an advanced stage with poor prognosis. Treatment options for advanced or recurrent UCCC are currently limited, especially after platinum-based chemotherapy has failed.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 49-year-old female diagnosed with stage IV uterine clear cell carcinoma.

Objective: Understanding the relationship between genetic structure and the molecular changes involved in endometrial cancer (EC) provides an opportunity to personalize treatments and incorporate targeted therapies.
Method: We compared cytogenetic and molecular features observed in tumoral and adjacent healthy tissue endometrium samples in EC patients.
Results: Non-clonal chromosome aberrations (NCCAs) frequently in patients with EC, especially in 10,15,17,22, X chromosomes and were monitored in 73.

Hinokitiol (HK), a monoterpenoid that naturally occurs in plants belonging to the Cupressaceae family, possesses important biological activities, including an anticancer effect. This review summarizes its anticancer potential and draws possible molecular interventions. In addition, it evaluates the biopharmaceutical, toxicological properties, and clinical application of HK to establish its viability for future advancement as a dependable anticancer medication.

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.

Endometrial decidualization resistance (DR) is implicated in various gynecological and obstetric conditions. Here, using a multi-omic strategy, we unraveled the cellular and molecular characteristics of DR in patients who have suffered severe preeclampsia (sPE). Morphological analysis unveiled significant glandular anatomical abnormalities, confirmed histologically and quantified by the digitization of hematoxylin and eosin-stained tissue sections.
