Definition of prognostic risk groups

Risk groupMolecular classification unknownMolecular classification known*†
Low
  •  Stage IA endometrioid + low-grade‡ + LVSI negative or focal

  •  Stage I–II POLEmut endometrial carcinoma, no residual disease

  •  Stage IA MMRd/NSMP endometrioid carcinoma + low-grade‡ + LVSI negative or focal

Intermediate
  •  Stage IB endometrioid + low-grade‡ + LVSI negative or focal

  •  Stage IA endometrioid + high-grade‡ + LVSI negative or focal

  •  Stage IA non-endometrioid (serous, clear cell, undifferentiared carcinoma, carcinosarcoma, mixed) without myometrial invasion

  •  Stage IB MMRd/NSMP endometrioid carcinoma + low-grade‡ + LVSI negative or focal

  •  Stage IA MMRd/NSMP endometrioid carcinoma + high-grade‡ + LVSI negative or focal

  •  Stage IA p53abn and/or non-endometrioid (serous, clear cell, undifferentiated carcinoma, carcinosarcoma, mixed) without myometrial invasion

High–intermediate
  •  Stage I endometrioid + substantial LVSI regardless of grade and depth of invasion

  •  Stage IB endometrioid high-grade‡ regardless of LVSI status

  •  Stage II

  •  Stage I MMRd/NSMP endometrioid carcinoma + substantial LVSI regardless of grade and depth of invasion

  •  Stage IB MMRd/NSMP endometrioid carcinoma high-grade‡ regardless of LVSI status

  •  Stage II MMRd/NSMP endometrioid carcinoma

High
  •  Stage III–IVA with no residual disease

  •  Stage I–IVA non-endometrioid (serous, clear cell, undifferentiated carcinoma, carcinosarcoma, mixed) with myometrial invasion, and with no residual disease

  •  Stage III–IVA MMRd/NSMP endometrioid carcinoma with no residual disease

  •  Stage I–IVA p53abn endometrial carcinoma with myometrial invasion, with no residual disease

  •  Stage I–IVA NSMP/MMRd serous, undifferentiated carcinoma, carcinosarcoma with myometrial invasion, with no residual disease

Advanced
metastatic
  •  Stage III–IVA with residual disease

  •  Stage IVB

  •  Stage III–IVA with residual disease of any molecular type

  •  Stage IVB of any molecular type

  • *For stage III–IVA POLEmut endometrial carcinoma and stage I–IVA MMRd or NSMP clear cell carcinoma with myometrial invasion, insufficient data are available to allocate these patients to a prognostic risk group in the molecular classification. Prospective registries are recommended.

  • †See text on how to assign double classifiers (eg, patients with both POLEmut and p53abn should be managed as POLEmut).

  • ‡According to the binary FIGO grading, grade 1 and grade 2 carcinomas are considered as low-grade and grade 3 carcinomas are considered as high-grade.

  • LVSI, lymphovascular space invasion; MMRd, mismatch repair deficient; NSMP, non-specific molecular profile; p53abn, p53 abnormal; POLEmut, polymerase-mutated.
