Receipt of red blood cell transfusions can negatively impact survival outcomes in patients with endometrial cancers, while ovarian cancers were most affected by preoperative global health status.

Results from a phase 2 trial indicated that atezolizumab and bevacizumab yielded a significant duration of response in recurrent endometrial cancer.

Long-term follow-up from the phase 2 KEYNOTE-158 trial showed enduring anti-tumor activity when pembrolizumab was used to treat patients with microsatellite instability–high/mismatch repair deficient advanced endometrial cancer.

Findings from an updated safety and efficacy analysis of the phase 3 KEYNOTE-775 trial were consistent with the primary analysis and highlighted notable improvements in outcomes among patients with advanced endometrial cancer treated with lenvatinib and pembrolizumab vs physician’s choice.

Results from a phase 2 study highlighted a tolerable safety profile when patients with mismatch repair proficient endometrial cancer were treated with avelumab plus talazoparib.

In a population of patients with recurrent mismatch repair proficient endometrial cancer, treatment with avelumab and talazoparib appeared to be well tolerated.

Findings from a recent study show that a neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio of less than 6 before treatment was correlated with improved overall survival for patients with endometrial cancer.

Investigators recommended that ddPCR testing and immunohistochemical staining be used to detect POLE status and p53/mismatch repair status, respectively, and allow for more rapid classification and risk-stratification.

Several immune-related long noncoding RNA signatures—including PCAT19 and SCARNA9—may be associated with prognosis in patients with endometrial cancer, according to the new research.

Endometrial cancer survivors experienced clinically significant weight loss after participating in a behavioral weight loss program.

Patients enrolled on the phase 3 ENGOT-EN5/GOG-3055/SIENDO study with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer appeared to benefit from treatment with selinexor compared with placebo.

Data on next line of therapy from the phase 3 Study 309/KEYNOTE-775 trial emphasized the benefit of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab for advanced endometrial cancer.

High body mass index in patients with apparent early-stage endometrial cancer may be predictive of sentinel lymph node mapping failure and decrease overall detection rate.

Findings from the phase 1/2 VICTORIA trial showed the combination of vistusertib plus anastrozole improved response and survival for patients with hormone receptor–positive recurrent or metastatic endometrial cancer vs anastrozole alone.

Findings from the phase 2 DOMEC trial showed that although durvalumab plus olaparib was well tolerated, it missed the study’s primary end point of progression-free survival in patients with metastatic or recurrent endometrial cancer.

Patients with endometrial cancer who have low volumetric skeletal muscle measurements had lower 3-year overall and progression-free survival rates.
