Abstract

Endometrial cancer (EC) represents the most frequently occuring gynecological tumor worldwide. The aim of the present study was to estimate the prognostic value of triple negative phenotype (TNP) in EC, and any associations with to pathological and clinical characteristics. The present study includes 220 cases of patients with EC who underwent to surgery at the Guglielmo da Saliceto Hospital of Piacenza (Italy) and the expressions of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and oncoprotein c‑erbB‑2 (HER2) expression were examined. Pearson's Chi‑square and Fisher's exact test were used to evaluate the association of TNP cases with variables associated with a worse prognosis. Progression‑free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed with Kaplan‑Meier curves. A total of 26 patients (12%) had a TNP, and these cases had a higher percentage of high‑risk histology, an advanced stage of disease at the time of diagnosis, with shorter PFS and OS when compared to non‑TNP. The present study confirmed that TNP represents prognostic significance in EC.
