| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to examine molecular alterations in endometrial cancer (EA) based on the expression of these biomarkers. Samples from 83 EAs were obtained. We classified EAs based on expression of ER, PgR, and HER2. Microsatellite instability (MSI), DNA methylation status, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and mutations in oncogenes were examined. Types were defined as follows: Type A (ER+ and/or PgR+, HER2-), Type B (ER+ and/or PgR+, HER2+), Type C (ER/PgR-, HER2+), and Type D (ER/PgR-, HER2-). The frequency of PTEN expression in Type C was lower than that in other types. Ki-ras mutations were more frequent in Type C, and PIK3CA mutations were more common in Types A and B. The frequency of LOH-high status in Type C and D was significantly higher than that in Types A and B. Subtypes based on these biomarkers in EA were characterized by each different molecular abnormality.
