Endometrial Carcinoma of Gastrointestinal-type (EMCG): Incidence, Molecular Features, and Distinction From Other Endometrial Cancers With Gastrointestinal Marker Immunoexpression. (PubMed, Int J Gynecol Pathol)
These data provide an expanded understanding of the molecular underpinnings of EMCG-including the first description of a SMARCA4 frameshift variant in this entity-and demonstrate that while gastrointestinal marker immunoexpression is relatively common among endometrial carcinomas, strictly defined EMCG remains rare (<1%). As awareness of this entity grows, pathologists should take care not to over-interpret gastrointestinal marker expression as stand-alone evidence of an EMCG diagnosis.

Exploring Microsatellite Instability in Endometrial Carcinomas: Clinicopathological Correlations and Clinical Implications-A Study from North India. (PubMed, Indian J Surg Oncol)
MSI testing which has been used historically to identify patients with Lynch Syndrome and evaluate the severity and prognosis of MSI carcinomas now plays an important role in identifying patients who will benefit from targetable therapy. MMR study therefore recommended in all cases of endometrial carcinomas and detection of MMR proteins by IHC can indirectly reflect the status of MSI and is a reliable method of MSI detection.

Comparative effects of estradiol and daidzein on the expression of endometrial cancer-related genes and histopathological parameters in the uterus of ovariectomized rats. (PubMed, Iran J Basic Med Sci)
DZD demonstrated a potentially beneficial effect by improving uterine anti-oxidant capacity and preventing atrophy, but without the hyperplastic changes associated with estradiol. These findings suggest that DZD may be a safer alternative for managing hypoestrogenic conditions, warranting further investigation.

DNA Methylation of Combined Gene Markers in Cytological Specimens for Endometrial Cancer Screening. (PubMed, Diagn Cytopathol)
Integrating DNA methylation markers into ECT offers a non-invasive and highly accurate approach to EC screening. This model's high diagnostic accuracy and reliability have the potential to transform EC diagnosis, reducing reliance on invasive procedures and improving clinical management.
