Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endometrial carcinoma is the most common gynecologic malignancy, and the incidence of endometrial carcinoma is estimated to increase by 1–2% every year. Treatment modalities in endometrial cancer vary depending on the grade and the stage of the disease. In recent years, sentinel lymph node (SLN) sampling has been advocated as an alternative to standard hysterectomy with complete lymphadenectomy. Surgery is the standard treatment for early-stage endometrial cancer. Additional treatment, depending on the stage of the disease, may include radiation with or without chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and some targeted therapies. Several new treatments for advanced disease have become available. Determining the molecular subtypes of cancers and deciding treatment according to type have both impacted practice. Other advances in this field include the use of immunotherapy and targeted therapies. This Special Issue aims to report the last advancements regarding the current understanding of endometrial cancer, including genetic background, molecular targeting, surgical management, and adjuvant treatment.
