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.

This study aims to investigate the association between anemia and early recurrence in endometrial cancer patients. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 473 endometrial cancer patients treated at our hospital from January 2015 to December 2020. Patients were divided into two groups based on their hemoglobin (Hb) level: anemia group (Hb < 12 g/dL) and non-anemia group (Hb ≥12 g/dL). Early recurrence was defined as recurrence within 2 years of diagnosis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the predictors of early recurrence. The prevalence of anemia was 38.26% (181/473). The incidence of early recurrence was 12.89% (61/473) in the anemia group and 9.24% (38/412) in the non-anemia group (p = 0.004). Univariate analysis showed that anemia was a significant predictor of early recurrence (odds ratio (OR) = 2.27, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.35–3.80, p = 0.003). Multivariate analysis confirmed that anemia was an independent predictor of early recurrence (OR = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.21–3.84, p = 0.01). Anemia is an independent predictor of early recurrence in endometrial cancer patients. Patients with endometrial cancer should be screened for anemia and treated if present. Additionally, patients with anemia should be closely monitored for early signs of recurrence and treated aggressively. Full article

Endometrial cancer represents an ideal target to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 being the most frequent gynecological malignancy in Italy, generally detected at early stages and correlated with favorable oncological outcomes. The present comparative retrospective study carried out at Campus Bio-medico University Foundation in Rome aims to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the presentation, diagnosis and treatment of EC. All women with a histological diagnosis of non-endometrioid and endometrioid endometrial cancer between 1 March 2018 and 31 October 2022 were included. The number of cases was higher in period 2 (95 vs. 64 cases). Time to diagnosis did not show statistically significant differences but in period 2, 92.06% of the diagnoses were made following abnormal uterine bleeding, while in period 1, only 67.02% were. The waiting time for the intervention was significantly shorter in period 2. Definitive histology, FIGO staging, surgical technique and adjuvant therapy did not show significant differences between the two periods. The study demonstrates that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a direct effect on the diagnostic delay, tumor staging and type of therapy but rather on the presentation pattern of endometrial cancer.
