Obstacles and solutions for worldwide implementation of the Molecular Endometrial Carcinoma Classification

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Dr. Charlene Bosse discusses the molecular classification of endometrial cancer and its implications for treatment decisions. The molecular classification is based on genetic markers such as POLE mutations, MMR status, and P53 abnormalities. Dr. Bosse emphasizes the importance of implementing the molecular classification in clinical practice to improve risk stratification and guide treatment decisions. <br /><br />She discusses the different molecular subtypes of endometrial cancer and their prognostic significance. For example, POLE mutations are associated with a favorable outcome, while MMR deficiency and P53 abnormalities are associated with a poorer prognosis. <br /><br />Dr. Bosse also addresses the challenges and potential solutions for implementing the molecular classification, including the cost of testing and the need for infrastructure and resources. She suggests alternative testing methods, such as targeted sequencing or immunochemistry, to make testing more accessible and affordable. Additionally, she discusses ongoing research and clinical trials targeting specific molecular subtypes of endometrial cancer, such as HER2 amplification and PARP inhibition. <br /><br />Overall, Dr. Bosse emphasizes the importance of the molecular classification in improving patient management and outcomes in endometrial cancer. <br /><br />(No credits were given in the transcript. Dr. Charlene Bosse is the speaker in the video.)
