Endometrial cancer articles from across Nature Portfolio

This study of Chinese endometrioid endometrial carcinomas describes the proteogenomic differences between early-onset and late-onset tumors, finding that SIGLEC10 mutation may contribute to tumorigenesis and progestin resistance in early cases.

PapSEEK, a novel liquid-based cytology test, enabled the highly specific detection of endometrial and ovarian cancer in a retrospective study. Herein, I discuss potential applications of this tool, both for cancer screening of asymptomatic populations and for the early diagnosis of cancer in symptomatic women.

Wang et al. have developed a diagnostic tool (based on the widely used Papanicolaou (Pap) test) to detect endometrial and ovarian cancer in patients by using PCR-based analyses of genetic mutations and aneuploidy.
