Abstract

Abstract ESMO-ESGO-ESTRO Consensus Conference on Endometrial Cancer was simultaneously published in 3 prestigious journals and is sure to have a huge impact on the clinical practice of gynecologic oncology community and other gynecologic cancer care providers.

It is a tremendous report representative of great effort. Hovewer, as practicing gynecologic oncologists, endometrial carcinoma is the most common clinical entity encountered in our routine daily practice; as such, we find some of the report confusing and object to some of its findings, as detailed in this brief report.

We also attempted to summarize the differences between the well-known NCCN guidelines and the ESMO-ESGO-ESTRO Consensus Conference guidelines and try to give the point of view of gynecologic oncologic perspective. It is obvious that differences in the management of endometrial carcinomas will continue to be debated by the scientific community.
