Jiang S, Ye M, Wan J, Ye Q, Qiu S, Yang Y, Li X. Significance of Gelsolin Superfamily Genes in Diagnosis, Prognosis and Immune Microenvironment Regulation for Endometrial Cancer. Cancer Med 2025; 14:e70584. [PMID: 39964147 PMCID: PMC11834165 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.70584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2024] [Revised: 12/12/2024] [Accepted: 12/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2025] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previously, anti-CTLA4 and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapies have shown limited efficacy in MSI-H/MMR-D endometrial cancer, leading to poor clinical outcomes. The gelsolin superfamily, which includes GSN, SCIN, VILL, VIL1, CAPG, AVIL, SVIL, and FLII, plays crucial roles in cell motility and gene regulation. AIMS The objective of this study is to explore the potential therapeutic and prognostic implications of the gelsolin superfamily in EC. MATERIALS & METHODS Data from TCGA, GEPIA, THPA, UALCAN, and Kaplan-Meier plotter databases were analyzed to investigate the expression and clinical relevance of gelsolin superfamily members. Co-expression networks of the gelsolin superfamily were assessed using LinkedOmics, GeneMANIA, and NetworkAnalyst. The relationship between gelsolin superfamily and immune cell infiltration was investigated using TIMER, ImmuCellAI, and GEPIA. RESULTS We found that high expressions of CAPG, AVIL, and SVIL were associated with poor prognosis, while high expressions of GSN and FLII were linked to better outcomes in EC. Functional enrichment analysis indicated the involvement of gelsolin superfamily members in pathways related to estrogen response, MYC targets, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, TGF beta signaling, MTORC1 signaling, oxidative phosphorylation, inflammatory response, and IL6-JAK-STAT3 signaling. Furthermore, gelsolin superfamily members demonstrated strong correlations with the levels of monocytes, natural killer T, naive CD4+ T, follicular helper T, and central memory T in EC. In vitro studies showed that silencing CAPG and FLII could inhibit proliferation and metastasis in endometrial cancer cell lines. CONCLUSION These findings indicate the significant association of gelsolin superfamily members with prognosis and immunological status in endometrial cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hysterectomy for endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer in morbidly obese patients is challenging. Here, we reported data regarding three minimally invasive approaches. METHOD This is a multicenter retrospective study evaluating 30-day and 90-day surgery-related outcomes of morbidly obese patients (those with BMI > 40kg/m2) undergoing robotic-assisted, laparoscopic, and vaginal hysterectomy. RESULTS Charts of 95 morbidly obese patients who underwent surgery for endometrial cancer were retrieved. Overall, robotic-assisted, laparoscopic, and vaginal surgeries were performed in 35 (36.8%), 38 (40%), and 22 (23.2%) patients, respectively. Patients having robotic-assisted surgery experienced longer operative time than patients having vaginal and laparoscopic approaches (p < 0.001). Surgical approaches did not influence the risk of having intraoperative and severe (Clavien-Dindo grade 3 or more) postoperative complications. No 90-day mortality occurred. CONCLUSIONS Robotic-assisted, laparoscopic, and vaginal surgery represent three safe and feasible minimally invasive approaches to manage morbidly obese patients with endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 2023 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system includes lymphovascular invasion quantification as a staging criterion for endometrioid endometrial carcinomas; no lymphovascular invasion and focal invasion (≤4 vessels involved) are grouped as one category, and substantial invasion as another. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between lymphovascular invasion and oncologic outcomes. METHODS We retrospectively identified patients with FIGO 2009 stage I endometrioid endometrial cancer treated surgically with total hysterectomy and lymph node assessment at two tertiary care centers between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2019. Lymphovascular space invasion was categorized as focal (<5 vessels involved), substantial (≥5 vessels involved), and no lymphovascular invasion using WHO criteria. RESULTS Of 1555 patients included, 65 (4.2%) had substantial, 119 (7.7%) had focal, and 1371 (88.2%) had no lymphovascular invasion. Median age was 64 years (range 24-92). Thirty-five patients (53.8%) with substantial, 44 (37%) with focal, and 115 (8.4%) with no lymphovascular invasion had stage IB disease (p<0.001); 21 (32.3%) with substantial, 24 (20.2%) with focal, and 91 (6.6%) with no lymphovascular invasion had grade 3 disease (p<0.001). Thirty-six patients (55.4%) with substantial, 80 (67.2%) with focal, and 207 (15.1%) with no lymphovascular invasion received adjuvant treatment (p<0.001). Median follow-up was 61.5 months (range 0.8-133.9). Five-year progression-free survival rates were 68.7% (substantial), 70.5% (focal), and 90.7% (no invasion) (p<0.001). On multivariate analysis, any lymphovascular invasion was associated with increased risk of progression/death (adjusted HR (aHR)=1.84 (95% CI 1.73 to 1.96) for focal; 2.17 (95% CI 1.96 to 2.39) for substantial). Compared with focal, substantial lymphovascular invasion was associated with an aHR for disease progression of 1.18 (95% CI 1.00 to 1.39). CONCLUSIONS Focal and substantial lymphovascular invasion were associated with increased risk of disease progression and do not appear to be prognostically distinct. Focal versus no lymphovascular invasion have different prognostic outcomes and should not be combined into one category.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to explore the prognostic factors and survival patterns based on the histological type for the perimenopausal endometrial carcinoma (PIPEC) patients treated with hysterectomy. METHODS The PIPEC patients were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Methods of random survival forest (RSF) and Cox regression were used to identify the possible prognostic factors of PIPEC patients. Then overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of PIPEC data were analyzed by histological types with regional lymph nodes status and SEER-stage to investigate the survival patterns of the PIPEC patients. RESULTS A total of 14,178 PIPEC patients were included in the study. We found tumor size, grade, histology, SEER-stage, AJCC-stage, AJCC-T stage, metastasis to distant organs and regional lymph nodes status had a significant survival outcome for PIPEC both for OS and CSS (all p < 0.05). Regardless of regional lymph nodes status and SEER-stage for OS and CSS, the low-grade endometrioid carcinoma had the best prognosis outcome, followed by the mix cell adenocarcinoma and high-grade endometrioid carcinoma, while the carcinosarcoma and undifferentiated carcinoma had relatively poor prognosis outcome. And the survival patterns of different histological types of PIPEC were diverse and changed along with the time. CONCLUSION We identified the possible prognostic factors of PIPEC patients treated with hysterectomy. And survival analysis based on the regional lymph nodes status and SEER-stage revealed the different histological types of PIPEC had diverse survival patterns, which will be helpful for guiding clinical practice.

Sentinel node mapping in high-intermediate and high-risk endometrial cancer: Analysis of 5-year oncologic outcomes. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2024; 50:108018.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess 5-year oncologic outcomes of apparent early-stage high-intermediate and high-risk endometrial cancer undergoing sentinel node mapping versus systematic lymphadenectomy. METHODS This is a multi-institutional retrospective, propensity-matched study evaluating data of high-intermediate and high-risk endometrial cancer (according to ESGO/ESTRO/ESP guidelines) undergoing sentinel node mapping versus systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy (with and without para-aortic lymphadenectomy). Survival outcomes were assessed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard methods. RESULTS Overall, the charts of 242 patients with high-intermediate and high-risk endometrial cancer were retrieved. Data on 73 (30.1%) patients undergoing hysterectomy plus sentinel node mapping were analyzed. Forty-two (57.5%) and 31 (42.5%) patients were classified in the high-intermediate and high-risk groups, respectively. Unilateral sentinel node mapping was achieved in all patients. Bilateral mapping was achieved in 67 (91.7%) patients. Three (4.1%) patients had site-specific lymphadenectomy (two pelvic areas only and one pelvic plus para-aortic area), while adjunctive nodal dissection was omitted in the hemipelvis of the other three (4.1%) patients. Sentinel nodes were detected in the para-aortic area in eight (10.9%) patients. Twenty-four (32.8%) patients were diagnosed with nodal disease. A propensity-score matching was used to compare the aforementioned group of patients undergoing sentinel node mapping with a group of patients undergoing lymphadenectomy. Seventy patient pairs were selected (70 having sentinel node mapping vs. 70 having lymphadenectomy). Patients undergoing sentinel node mapping experienced similar 5-year disease-free survival (HR: 1.233; 95%CI: 0.6217 to 2.444; p = 0.547, log-rank test) and 5-year overall survival (HR: 1.505; 95%CI: 0.6752 to 3.355; p = 0.256, log-rank test) than patients undergoing lymphadenectomy. CONCLUSIONS Sentinel node mapping does not negatively impact 5-year outcomes of high-intermediate and high-risk endometrial cancer. Further prospective studies are warranted.

Abstract
Nodal status is one of the most important prognostic factors for patients with apparent early stage endometrial cancer. The role of retroperitoneal staging in endometrial cancer is controversial. Nodal status provides useful prognostic data, and allows to tailor the need of postoperative treatments. However, two independent randomized trials showed that the execution of (pelvic) lymphadenectomy increases the risk of having surgery-related complication without improving patients' outcomes. Sentinel node mapping aims to achieve data regarding nodal status without increasing morbidity. Sentinel node mapping is the removal of first (clinically negative) lymph nodes draining the uterus. Several studies suggested that sentinel node mapping is not inferior to lymphadenectomy in identifying patients with nodal disease. More importantly, thorough ultrastaging sentinel node mapping allows the detection of low volume disease (micrometastases and isolated tumor cells), that are not always detectable via conventional pathological examination. Therefore, the adoption of sentinel node mapping guarantees a higher identification of patients with nodal disease than lymphadenectomy. Further evidence is needed to assess the value of various adjuvant strategies in patients with low volume disease and to tailor those treatments also on the basis of the molecular and genomic characterization of endometrial tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The growing adoption of molecular and genomic characterization is changing the current landscape of treatment of endometrial cancer patients. Using the surrogate molecular classification, endometrial cancer patients can be classified in four subgroups: POLE mutated (POLEmut), MMRd/MSI-H, p53 abnormal (p53abn), and no specific mutational profile (NSMP). However, some patients can harbor two or more molecular features (defined as multiple classifier). Since the rarity of this occurrence, evidence regarding multiple classifiers is still limited. Here, we described characteristics and outcomes of multiple classifiers. METHODS This is a multi-institutional retrospective study. Data of consecutive patients having 2 or more molecular features were collected. Survival was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard methods. RESULTS Charts of 72 multiple classifiers were reviewed. Median (range) follow-up was 9.8 (1.2, 37.5) months. Overall, 31 (43%) patients had POLEmut. Patients with POLEmut-MMRd/MSI-H, POLEmut-p53abn, and POLEmut-MMRd/MSI-H-p53abn were 6 (8.3%), 20 (27.8%), and 5 (6.9%), respectively. Among those 31 patients, no recurrence occurred within a median follow-up of 10.5 months (only seven (22.6%) patients had at least 2-year follow-up). The remaining 41 (56.9%) patients were diagnosed with tumors harboring both p53 and MMRd/MSI-H. Among them, four (9.8%) recurrences occurred at a median follow-up time of 8.9 months. Adjuvant therapy (other than vaginal brachytherapy) was administered in 5/31 (16%) and 25/41 (61%) patients with and without POLEmut, respectively (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Multiple classifiers endometrial cancer with POLEmut are characterized by good prognosis even in case of presence of MMRd/MSI-H and/or p53abn. Additional studies with long-term follow-up are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Using preoperative hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) scores, a cutoff value of HALP in endometrial cancer was identified, and the significance of HALP value in endometrial cancer prognosis was evaluated to guide the management of patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 626 patients with endometrial cancer who underwent surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between June 2015 and June 2020. A Cox regression model was used to analyze the correlation between HALP endometrial cancer recurrence and death, and the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the optimal cutoff value of HALP for predicting the lymph node metastasis (LNM), recurrence, and death of endometrial cancer. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. RESULTS Univariate analysis revealed that HALP was associated with a lower risk of recurrence and death of endometrial cancer. Multivariate analysis indicated that HALP was an independent protective factor for predicting recurrence and death in endometrial cancer. The thresholds of HALP for predicting LNM, recurrence, and death in endometrial cancer patients are around 33.8. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that the recurrence-free and the overall survival rates were significantly lower in the low-HALP group than that in the high-HALP group ( P <0.001). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative HALP values in patients with endometrial cancer are important in predicting LNM, recurrence, and death of patients. HALP scores combined with traditional pathologic factors can better guide the prognostic management of patients.

Abstract
Endometrial carcinosarcoma is a rare and aggressive high-grade endometrial carcinoma with secondary sarcomatous trans-differentiation (conversion theory). The clinical presentation and diagnostic work-up roughly align with those of the more common endometrioid counterpart, although endometrial carcinosarcoma is more frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage. Endometrial carcinosarcoma is not a single entity but encompasses different histological subtypes, depending on the type of carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements. The majority of endometrial carcinosarcomas are characterized by p53 abnormalities. The proportion of POLE and microsatellite instablity-high (MSI-H) is directly related to the epithelial component, being approximately 25% and 3% in endometrioid and non-endometrioid components.The management of non-metastatic disease is based on a multimodal approach with optimal surgery followed by (concomitant or sequential) chemotherapy and radiotherapy, even for early stages. Palliative chemotherapy is recommended in the metastatic or recurrent setting, with carboplatin/paclitaxel doublet being the first-line regimen. Although the introduction of immunotherapy plus/minus a tyrosine kinase inhibitor shifted the paradigm of treatment of patients with recurrent endometrial cancer, patients with endometrial carcinosarcoma were excluded from most studies evaluating single-agent immunotherapy or the combination. However, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved the use of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib in endometrial cancer (all histotypes) after progression on chemotherapy and single-agent immunotherapy in MSI-H cancers. In the era of precision medicine, emerging knowledge on molecular endometrial carcinosarcoma is opening new promising therapeutic options for more personalized treatment. The present review outlines state-of-the-art knowledge and future directions for patients with endometrial carcinosarcoma.
