Abstract

Introduction/Background The new molecular classification of endometrial cancer (EC) has been shown to improve prognosis prediction and it has recently been incorporated in the 2023 FIGO staging. However, the exact risk and type of metastases at the time of diagnosis and their prognostic value in each molecular subgroup are currently unknown.

Methodology EUGENIE is an ongoing prospective multicentre study, aiming to improve the traditional surgery-based staging by the use of molecular classification. 1000 EC patients will receive a complete surgical staging, consisting of sentinel-node procedure and/or pelvic and para-aortic lymph-node dissection, as well as peritoneal and omental biopsy or omentectomy. The staging information will be matched with the molecular features to determine whether each molecular subgroup is associated with a specific pattern of extra-uterine disease.

Results At the data cut-off of 15/01/2024 complete histological and molecular data are available for 280 patients. Among them, 72 (25,7%) were in advanced stages (2009 FIGO stage III or IV), with the highest incidence in the p53-aberrant group (p53abn- 46.5%). Remarkably, 5 patients were upstaged because of unexpected positive study-specific omental and/or peritoneal biopsies (1 Non-specified molecular profile -NSMP, 1 mismatch repair deficiency - MMRd, 3 p53abn). Lymph nodal metastases were detected in all 4 molecular subgroups, even though only one POLE patients (4.5%) had positive pelvic lymph nodes. Transperitoneal and systemic spread was observed in MMRd, p53abn, and NSMP EC, with the highest incidence in the p53abn group, reaching the 20.9% of peritoneal spread.

Conclusion After enrolling more than 25% of patients, we detected 1.8% of unexpected peritoneal metastases. p53abn seems to be associated with the highest rate of peritoneal metastases, while positive lymph nodes have been detected mostly in p53abn and MMRd patients. A very low percentage of lymph nodal metastases has been detected in POLE cases.

Abstract #598 Table 1

Association of each molecular subgroup with early or advanced disease stage and with the spread of the disease to the extra-uterine sites. For each case, all the involved extra-uterine sites are annotated. NSMP: Non-specified molecular profile; MMRd: mismatch repair deficiency; P53abn: p53 aberrant; POLE: POLE mutated.
