Advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer: Molecular classification and treatment decisions
Advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer: Molecular classification and treatment decisions
Key clinical takeaways:
MMR status should be tested in all patients at diagnosis and upon disease progression to guide personalised treatment decisions
ICI and ChT combination, including with maintenance olaparib, demonstrates benefits in patients with non-dMMR advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer, with greater efficacy observed in dMMR populations
Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab is a viable option not only as 2nd line therapy but also as 1st line treatment for patients with non-dMMR advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer who have progressed after prior systemic therapy in any setting
Shared decision-making, supported by patient education, is essential for optimising treatment outcomes
The treatment landscape for advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) is evolving, with molecular classification playing a key role in guiding decisions. In this podcast, Prof. Xavier Matias-Guiu (Pathologist) and Dr Jurjees Hasan (Medical Oncologist) discuss the latest advancements in personalised treatment approaches for EC.
Key topics include:
The role of molecular classification in guiding treatment selection and testing strategies
