Abstract
Background and objectives: Adoption of molecular classification in endometrial cancer (EC) into clinical practice remains challenging due to complexity in coordination of multiple assays. We aimed to develop a simple molecular technique to classify ECs into four subgroups using our custom-designed targeted sequencing panel.
Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed ECs were prospectively recruited from three cancer centres in Ontario, Canada. Using our panel, 181 ECs were sequenced. Variants were analysed for pathogenicity and clinicopathologic information was collected through medical records retrospectively.
Results: Of 181, 86 (48%) were mismatch repair deficient (MMRd), of which 62 (72%) harboured MLH1 promoter methylation and 24 (28%) had pathogenic variants in MMR genes. Of single classifiers, three (1.8%) had pathogenic POLE (POLEmut), 15 (9%) had TP53 mutations (p53abn) and 61 (37%) had no specific molecular profile subtype (NSMP). Sixteen (9%) had more than one molecular classifying feature, with eight (4%) MMRd-p53abn, six (3%) POLEmut-MMRd, one (0.5%) POLEmut-MMRd-p53abn and one (0.5%) POLEmut-p53abn. When MMRd group was further subclassified according to mechanism of MMR loss, MLH1 promoter methylated group had worse outcomes than those with somatic MMR pathogenic variants.
Conclusions: Our panel can classify ECs into four subgroups through a simplified process and can be implemented reflexively in clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Surgical Oncology offers peer-reviewed, original papers in the field of surgical oncology and broadly related surgical sciences, including reports on experimental and laboratory studies. As an international journal, the editors encourage participation from leading surgeons around the world. The JSO is the representative journal for the World Federation of Surgical Oncology Societies. Publishing 16 issues in 2 volumes each year, the journal accepts Research Articles, in-depth Reviews of timely interest, Letters to the Editor, and invited Editorials. Guest Editors from the JSO Editorial Board oversee multiple special Seminars issues each year. These Seminars include multifaceted Reviews on a particular topic or current issue in surgical oncology, which are invited from experts in the field.
