- Abstract
Endometrial cancer continues to be the only gynecologic malignancy with a rising incidence and mortality, with both regional and global implications. Combination carboplatin and paclitaxel has been the recognized chemotherapy backbone for the treatment of advanced‐stage or recurrent disease, with modest clinical outcomes. Over the last year, significant advances were achieved in improving oncologic outcomes by capitalizing on the molecular characterization of this heterogenous disease. These advances include incorporation of immunotherapy, identification of effective hormonal approaches, the evolution of antibody drug conjugates, and utilization of alternate targeted therapies. Plain Language Summary: The molecular characterization of endometrial cancer has been critical in informing novel treatment strategies.Over the past year, significant gains have been made via the incorporation of immunotherapy, hormonal combinations as well as antibody drug conjugates. Advanced stage and recurrence endometrial cancer remains difficult to treat. Recently, significant gains have been achieved in identifying effective therapeutic strategies by capitalizing on the molecular characterization of this heterogeneous disease.
