Overview
NCI Definition: An adenocarcinoma arising from the uterine body cavity. This is the most frequent malignant tumor affecting the uterine body, and is linked to estrogen therapy. Most patients present with uterine bleeding and are over age 40 at the time of diagnosis. The prognosis depends on the stage of the tumor, the depth of the uterine wall invasion, and the histologic subtype. Endometrioid adenocarcinoma is the most frequently seen morphologic variant of endometrial adenocarcinoma. [1]
Endometrial adenocarcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in PTEN, PIK3CA, TP53, ARID1A, and PIK3R1 [2].
PTEN Mutation, PIK3CA Mutation, TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, and TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense are the most common alterations in endometrial adenocarcinoma [2].
