A study assessed the role of abnormal p53 expression in 370 patients with low-risk endometrial cancer (EC), discovering that 4.9% had p53 abnormalities, which could indicate a higher recurrence risk.
Among the patients, 3.6% experienced recurrences, with those exhibiting abnormal p53 expression having a 5.23 times higher odds of recurrence compared to those with normal p53.
Although there was no significant difference in overall survival between the two groups, the findings suggest that molecular classification for p53 abnormalities may help tailor treatment in future studies of low-risk EC patients.
