Molecular Classification in Mexican Patients With Endometrial Cancer and Its Impact on Prognosis

Conditions

Summary

Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecological neoplasms, being the second in incidence and third in mortality in Mexico. Recent studies show that EC molecular classification (Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network, 2013) serves to establish a more accurate prognosis in these patients and regulate therapeutic behavior in a personalized manner. However, there are no studies on EC molecular classification in Mexican women or its impact on prognosis and the possible modification of targeted treatment. The investigators will determine the molecular classification in EC by next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect TP53 and POLE somatic mutations, and immunohistochemical detection of microsatellite instability (MSH2, MLH1, PMS1, PMS2, MSH6, and MSH3) in a cohort of patients with endometrioid-type EC, endometrioid subtype, attended at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología - Mexico (INCan) and determine its impact on clinical prognosis.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study examines how molecular subtypes of endometrial (uterine) cancer in Mexican patients affect their outcomes. By analyzing existing tissue samples, researchers aim to understand whether certain tumor characteristics predict how well patients do over time. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with endometrioid-type endometrial (uterine) cancer - You had surgery at INCan (National Cancer Institute of Mexico) - Tissue samples from your surgery are available for analysis **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer is a non-endometrioid type - You have had two separate primary cancers, including cervical cancer - Adequate tissue samples are not available Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
