Abstract

Endometrial cancer is the most commonly diagnosed gynecologic malignancy among women worldwide and may be classified on the basis of different molecular, pathologic and genetic alterations. Identification of mismatch repair-deficient (MMRd), which occur in up to 30% of all endometrial cancers (EC), has become unavoidable for therapeutic management, clinical desicion making, and prognosis. Although microsatellite instability is associated with a more favorable outcome in colorectal cancer, its relationship with prognosis in EC is not yet clear.

Mismatch repair gen defektlerinin endometrium kanserindeki önemi

Abstract

Endometrium kanseri dünya genelinde en yaygın görülen jinekolojik kanserdir ve farklı moleküler, patolojik ve genetik değişikliklere göre sınıflandırılır. Yaklaşık %30 oranında görülen mismatch repair defekti (MMRd)’nin tespiti, tedavi yönetimi, klinik karar verme süreci ve prognoz ile ilişkisinden dolayı vazgeçilmez bir duruma gelmiştir. Kolorektal kanserlerde mikrosatellit instabilite daha iyi prognozla ilişkili olmasına rağmen, bu ilişki endometrium kanserinde henüz netlik kazanmamıştır.
