Uterine papillary serous carcinoma : patterns of metastatic spread

TLDR
The need for complete surgical staging in all patients with UPSC regardless of depth of invasion is reinforced, as grade and depth of myometrial invasion were not significant predictors for extrauterine disease.

Theories of endometrial carcinogenesis: a multidisciplinary approach.

TL;DR: A dualistic model of endometrial carcinogenesis is proposed incorporating a classic estrogen-driven pathway and an alternative pathway seemingly unrelated to hormones, which is hoped will lead to improved diagnosis, management, and prevention.

p53 in endometrial cancer and its putative precursors: Evidence for diverse pathways of tumorigenesis

TL;DR: The hypothesis that serous carcinomas develop from endometrial surface epithelium that demonstrates abnormal p53 protein expression in conjunction with transformation to EIC is supported, and mutation of p53 seems unrelated to the development of endometrioid carcinoma from atypicalendometrial hyperplasia but may be related to dedifferentiation in some of these neoplasms.

Uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC): a single institution review of 129 cases.

TL;DR: In this population of nonselected patients with UPSC, approximately 20% had a personal or family history of breast cancer, and stage, lymph node status, lymph vascular invasion, and depth of myometrial invasion were all risk factors for a worse prognosis.

Current recommendations and recent progress in endometrial cancer.

TL;DR: For the subset of women with microsatellite‐instable, metastatic disease, anti– programmed cell death protein 1 immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) is now approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, and numerous trials are attempting to build on this early success.
