Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most frequent gynecological malignancy in the developed world. Optimal treatment of EC depends on early diagnosis and pre-operative stratification to appropriately select the extent of surgery and to plan further therapeutic approaches. Currently, endometrial histology is the gold standard for diagnosis, as there are no valid non-invasive methods available, and patient stratification is based on histopathology and surgical findings.
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecological disorder due to a lack of effective early detection strategies. Worldwide, approximately 230,000 women are diagnosed annually, whereas 150,000 die. It represents the seventh most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the world with 5-year survival rate of 46%. More than one-fifth of EOC have been related to hereditary conditions. Considerable efforts have been made to implement screening of the general population to diagnose EOC early; nevertheless, this has been ineffective and there is no approved strategy. Nowadays, new approaches for early diagnosis and prevention based on molecular genomics are in development. Whole gen...
Renal cancer is a health problem of major concern worldwide. Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immune check-point blockade treatments, alone or in combination, are giving promising results, failures are quite frequent due to intratumor heterogeneity and to the acquisition of drug resistance. The spectrum of renal cell carcinoma subtypes is wide. Up to 70–80% of renal tumors are clear cell renal cell carcinomas, a clinically aggressive tumor subtype linked to VHL gene inactivation. Next in frequency, the papillary renal cell carcinoma category encompasses an intricate puzzle of classic and newly described entities with poorly defined limits, some of them pending definite clarification...
