Mutations and amplification of oncogenes in endometrial cancer [PDF]
Alterations in oncogenes are critical steps in the development of endometrial cancer. To investigate the potential clinical relevance of the amplification of the oncogenes c-erbB2, c-myc, and int-2 and the mutation of K-ras in endometrial cancer, 112 ...

Genetics of Endometrial Cancers [PDF]
Endometrial cancers exhibit a different mechanism of tumorigenesis and progression depending on histopathological and clinical types. The most frequently altered gene in estrogen‐dependent endometrioid endometrial carcinoma tumors is PTEN. Microsatellite instability is another important genetic event in this type of tumor. In contrast, p53 mutations or

Fine-mapping of the HNF1B multicancer locus identifies candidate variants that mediate endometrial cancer risk. [PDF]
Common variants in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 homeobox B (HNF1B) gene are associated with the risk of Type II diabetes and multiple cancers. Evidence to date indicates that cancer risk may be mediated via genetic or epigenetic effects on HNF1B gene ...

Pathology findings among women with alterations in uterine bleeding patterns in cameroon
Purpose: Endometrial cancer is on the rise in high-income countries but it has not been adequately studied in low-and-middle income countries especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), likely due to scarce pathology facilities. The purpose of this study was
