Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: An adenocarcinoma characterized by the presence of malignant glandular epithelial cells resembling endometrial cells. It can arise from the uterine body, ovary, fallopian tube, cervix, vagina, and uterine ligament. [1]

Endometrioid adenocarcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in PTEN, PIK3CA, ARID1A, PIK3R1, and CTNNB1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma

PTEN Mutation, PIK3CA Mutation, ARID1fs, CTNNB1 Mutation, and KRAS Mutation are the most common alterations in endometrioid adenocarcinoma [2].
