Rare intra-tumoral colonization of Fusobacterium nucleatum in endometrial cancer.
The presence of Fusobacterium nucleatum has been associated with gynecological disorders, namely endometriosis and pregnancy complications; however, its role in endometrial cancer remains unexplored. This study aimed to assess the presence of intra-tumoral F nucleatum in endometrial carcinoma tissues and its association with patients' clinicopathological and molecular features. A total of 260 patients were included, and a droplet digital polymerase chain reaction assay was employed to detect F nucleatum in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissues. F nucleatum was detected in only 3 cases (1.2%), and none exhibited high bacterial levels, even within the 79 microsatellite instability-high molecular subgroup. These findings suggest that intra-tumoral F nucleatum does not play an oncogenic role in endometrial cancer.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, the official journal of the International Gynecologic Cancer Society and the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology, is the primary educational and informational publication for topics relevant to detection, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gynecologic malignancies. IJGC emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, and includes original research, reviews, and video articles. The audience consists of gynecologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and research scientists with a special interest in gynecological oncology.
