Clinical characteristics and genomic profiling of outpatients with endometrial cancer at a Chinese tertiary cancer center

Abstract Objective Endometrial cancer is stepping into the era of precision therapy. Genomic test is recommended for newly diagnostic patients. However, outpatients displayed more complex characteristics. Here, we elucidated the clinical characteristics and genomic profiling of outpatients with endometrial cancer at our institution. Methods Between 2018 and 2023, 68 endometrial cancer received genomic tests at outpatient department of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. Data, including age, pathological histology, FIGO stage and treatment strategy were collected. Germline mutations, molecular subtypes and other somatic mutations were also summarized. Results Overall, 72.1% (49/68) of patients receive genomic tests at primary diagnosis, while 27.9% (19/68) of patients received tests at recurrence. Nine patients had deleterious germline mutations, including BRCA1(2), MLH1(1), MSH2(2, including one with co-mutation of RAD50), MSH6(2), FANCA(1), MUTYH(1). Molecular subtypes were recognized among 62 patients, as POLE super-mutation(4, 6.5%), MSI-H(7, 11.3%), CN-Low(36, 58.1%) and CN-High(15, 24.2%). Ten patients received anti-PD1 monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy or anti-angiogenic therapy, with the duration of disease control of 1 to 35 months. The ORR rate was 30%, and six patients had stable disease. The median (range) follow-up time was 18(2–160) months. 23(33.8%) relapses were recorded, and CN-High subtype displayed worst PFS compared with other subtypes (P
