Review Title: Moving into the modern era of molecular classification for endometrial cancer
Abstract: The molecular subtypes of endometrial carcinoma (EC) were first described by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) a decade ago. Using surrogate approaches, the molecular classification has been demonstrated to be prognostic across EC patients and to have predictive implications. Starting in 2020, the molecular classification has been incorporated into multiple guidelines as part of the risk assessment and most recently into the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging. This review article discusses the implementation of the EC molecular classification into clinical practice, the therapeutic implications, and the molecular and clinical heterogeneity of the EC molecular subtypes. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
