摘要: Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy, with 41,000 new cases projected in United States for 2006. Two different clinicopathologic subtypes are recognized: estrogen-related (type I, endometrioid) and non-estrogen-related types II, nonendometrioid such as papillary serous clear cell). The morphologic differences these cancers mirrored their molecular genetic profile type I showing defects DNA-mismatch repair mutations PTEN, K-ras, beta-catenin, II aneuploidy p53 mutations. This article reviews aspects of endometrial carcinogenesis progression. We will define precursor lesion endometrioid role genetics estrogen its
