摘要: Objectives: The growing prevalence of endometrial cancer has made it necessary to characterize its molecular and clinical properties develop new strategies in treating this disease. A number genetic events have been observed cancers, which enabled us a better understanding the biology development For example, PTEN/AKT pathway downstream targets mTOR (mammalian target rapamycin) shown play an important role pathogenesis. Novel therapies, such as drugs that cellular pathways, for inhibitor deforolimus, analog rapamycin, developed used trials treat women with progressive cancer. This review outlines data on translational aspects cancers risk factors. Methods: literature search was performed using PubMed OvidSP entering words characteristics Results: An evidence-based summary factors obtained. Conclusions: Clear pathways involved tumorigenesis may allow identify at developing possibly intervene prevent development.
