Abstract

In the developed world, endometrial carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the female gynecologic tract. Numerous epidemiologic studies indicate that exposure to unopposed estrogen is a significant risk factor for developing endometrial cancer, particularly endometrioid-type endometrial carcinoma; however, a number of other molecular pathways and mechanisms are also important in endometrial cancer. In this review, the authors highlight some of the more interesting molecular pathways in endometrial cancer, such as the PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway, microsatellite instability, and molecular mediators of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.
