Abstract
The adjuvant and post-surgical treatment of gynaecological cancers has historically been guided by the estimation of relapse risk based on clinicopathological factors determined at the time of cancer diagnosis. The recent advancement of genomic and molecular characterisation of gynaecological cancers has begun to shift paradigms in the selection of adjuvant treatment strategy. Recent data regarding the predictive and/or prognostic value of molecular tests in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer as well as early stage endometrial cancer have been the first such examples to enter adjuvant treatment guidelines for these diseases. In this article, we discuss the current state and future development of molecular assays for gynaecological cancers and how they impact upon treatment selection for ovarian, endometrial and cervical cancers in the post-surgical setting.
