Advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer: Molecular classification and treatment decisions

Advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer: Molecular classification and treatment decisions

Key clinical takeaways:  

• MMR status should be tested in all patients at diagnosis and upon disease progression to guide personalised treatment decisions  

• ICI and ChT combination, including with maintenance olaparib, demonstrates benefits in patients with non-dMMR advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer, with greater efficacy observed in dMMR populations 

• Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab is a viable option not only as 2nd line therapy but also as 1st line treatment for patients with non-dMMR advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer who have progressed after prior systemic therapy in any setting 

• Shared decision-making, supported by patient education, is essential for optimising treatment outcomes  

The treatment landscape for advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) is evolving, with molecular classification playing a key role in guiding decisions. In this podcast, Prof. Xavier Matias-Guiu (Pathologist) and Dr Jurjees Hasan (Medical Oncologist) discuss the latest advancements in personalised treatment approaches for EC. 

Key topics include: 

• The role of molecular classification in guiding treatment selection and testing strategies 

• Treatment options for patients with pMMR status 

• Effective patient communication for shared decision-making 

Tune in for expert insights and practical guidance to optimise treatment strategies in advanced and recurrent EC
