Abstract

For many years endometrial cancer has been subdivided into oestrogen — dependent (type I) and oestrogen — independent (type II), according to classical Bokhman classification. Histopathological evaluation including type and grade of tumour, along with clinical factors have been considered as very important prognostic factors that impact treatment decision. However, histologically similar tumours may have different outcomes. Recent molecular findings and new histopathological parameters have given new concept on risk stratification. The Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network (TCGA) of tumours have brought new insights into endometrial cancer management. Four molecular subgroups have been described: POLE ultramutated (POLE mut), p53 mutant (p53abn), mismatch repair deficient (MMRd) and non-specific molecular profile (NSMP). This new subdivision has been recently introduced in the European risk stratification system
