Abstract
Abstract The majority of endometrial cancer patients are cured by surgical removal of the uterus. Adjuvant treatment is recommended for a subset of patients with tumor characteristics associated with increased risk of recurrence. Historically pathologists have played a central role in defining histopathological factors that together make-up a risk profile which directs the type of adjuvant treatment. This traditional approach suffers from interobserver variability and lacks a biological basis. With the advance of molecular pathology, we have been able to define molecularly distinct endometrial cancer subsets which also carry distinct prognostic information and may form a basis for targeted adjuvant treatment. The RAINBO program exploits this concept by running 4 molecular subclass specific clinical trials. During my talk I will go over the past, the present and the future of adjuvant treatment in endometrial cancer with an emphasis on the role of pathology. Citation Format: Tjalling Bosse.
