ESMO: PARP inhibitor plus immunotherapy lowers risk of endometrial cancer progression over chemotherapy alone
Immunotherapy with the anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody durvalumab improved progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with newly diagnosed advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer compared with chemotherapy alone, with further benefits gained from the addition of the PARP inhibitor olaparib in maintenance setting, according to researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
July 2023 Tip Sheet From Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center
A first-of-its kind drug for prostate cancer, an ancient retrovirus that may drive aggressive brain cancer, disparities in endometrial cancer rates among Black women, a new trial seeking answers for higher rates of aggressive prostate and breast cancer in Black men and women, and more are in this month’s tip sheet from Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Endometrial Cancer Risk and Trends Among Distinct African-Descent Populations
A new EMBARGOED study found that endometrial cancer rates in Black women are related to factors beyond ancestry, including social determinants of health such as diet, psychosocial and physiological chronic stress and neighborhood/built environmental factors.
TWO CLINICAL TRIALS REVEAL ADDITION OF IMMUNOTHERAPY TO CHEMOTHERAPY REGIMEN INCREASES PROGRESSION-FREE SURVIVAL IN ENDOMETRIAL CANCER PATIENTS
The results of two clinical trials, presented today at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) 2023 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer, showcased adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy resulted in significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) among patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC).
GYNECOLOGIC CANCER PATIENTS REPORT TIME-RELATED BURDENS AND FINANCIAL TOXICITIES IMPACT QUALITY OF LIFE
Time-related and financial burdens are detrimental to gynecologic cancer patient and survivor quality of life (QOL), according to two research studies presented yesterday and today at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) 2023 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer.

Structural insights reveal how SPOP protein contributes to cancer
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital captured the 3D structure of SPOP, revealing how mutations in previously unappreciated regions fuel cancer.
ASTRO issues updated guideline on radiation therapy for endometrial cancer
A newly updated clinical guideline from the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) provides recommendations on the use of radiation therapy and systemic therapy after surgery to treat patients with endometrial cancer. The guideline also considers the role of surgical staging and molecular profiling techniques in determining whether a patient should receive post-operative therapy. The guideline is published in the January/February 2023 issue of Practical Radiation Oncology.
New Study Shows Sugar-Sweetened Drinks Increase Risk of Cancer Mortality
In a large study led by researchers at the American Cancer Society, men and women who drank two or more servings of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) per day, compared to people who never drank, had a five percent increased risk of death from an obesity-related cancer, including gastrointestinal, postmenopausal breast, endometrial and kidney cancer.
Sylvester Researchers Study Vaginal Microbiome’s Role in Screening for Endometrial Cancer
The vaginal microbiome differentiates benign disease from endometrial cancer and can even provide insight about the specific endometrial cancer type and disease severity, according to a study by investigators at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of…
Screening often misses endometrial cancer in Black women
In this study using a simulated cohort, TVUS endometrial thickness screening missed over four times more cases of endometrial cancer among Black women versus White women owing to the greater prevalence of fibroids and non-endometrioid histology type that occurs among Black women.
Study Shows New Treatment Pathway to Prevent and Treat Endometrial Cancer Recurrence
In a new study led by Yale Cancer Center, researchers demonstrate sex hormones and insulin growth factors are associated with recurrence risk of endometrial cancer.
