Abstract Background: Endometrial cancer is one of the most common female reproductive system tumors. Ninjurin2 (NINJ2) is a new adhesion factor. As a vascular susceptibility gene, it is highly expressed in other cancers and promotes the growth of cancer cells. We conducted an association analysis between NINJ2 gene polymorphism and endometrial cancer risk.Methods: Five SNPs rs118050317, rs75750647, rs7307242, rs10849390 and rs11610368 of NINJ2 gene were genotyped in 351 endometrial cancer patients and 344 healthy controls. The clinical index difference between cases and controls were tested by one-way analysis of variance. The allele and genotype frequency of cases and controls were been compared by Chi-square test. The odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were examined by logistic regression analysis. Results: The SNP rs118050317 mutant allele C and homozygote CC genotype were significant increased the endometrial cancer risk (OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.04 – 2.06, p = 0.028; OR = 8.43, 95% CI = 1.05 – 67.89, p = 0.045). In the clinical index analysis, there were significant higher quantities of CEA, CA125 and AFP in cases serum than controls.Conclusion: The NINJ2 gene polymorphism loci rs118050317 mutant allele C was associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer. CEA, CA125 and AFP quantities were significant higher in endometrial cancer patients.

ObjectiveDisordered metabolism of estrogen is believed to play a significant role in endometrial carcinogenesis. Recently, a number of studies have been conducted to identify the role of estrogen-related gene polymorphism in endometrial cancer risk, generating conflicting conclusions. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the association between genetic polymorphisms involving estrogen metabolic enzymes and endometrial cancer risk.MethodsA systematic search of 6 databases was conducted. Fourteen studies on the association of COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase) Val158Met, CYP1B1 Leu432Val, and CYP1B1 Asn453Ser polymorphisms with endometrial cancer risk were identified, enrolling a total of 4283 cancer cases and 7094 controls. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the relationship.ResultsIn CYP1B1 Leu432Val(rs1056836) analysis, the heterozygous genotype (CG) demonstrated an increased risk for endometrial cancer (Val/Leu vs Leu/Leu: pooled OR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.01–1.23;P= 0.039;I2= 10.5%; (Val/Val +Val/Leu) vs Leu/Leu: pooled OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.03–1.38;P= 0.017;I2= 54.7%). As for CYP1B1 Asn453Ser(rs1800440) polymorphism, a decreased risk was observed in G allele compared with A allele (Ser vs Asn: pooled OR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.72–0.94;P= 0.005;I2= 0.0%), and heterozygous genotype also showed a decreased risk compared with normal genotype (Ser/Asn vs Asn/Asn: pooled OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.69–0.95;P= 0.011;I2= 0.0%). As for COMT Val158Met (rs4680) polymorphism, the heterogeneous genotype showed a decreased risk for endometrial cancer compared with the common homogenous genotype in a fixed-effect model in Asian population (Met/Val vs Val/Val: pooled OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.70–0.98;P= 0.033;I2= 29.2%), whereas no positive results are found in other subgroups or models.ConclusionsCOMT Val158Met was seen to show a decreased risk for endometrial cancer in Asian population. CYP1B1 Leu432Val and Asn453Ser polymorphisms demonstrated an increased and decreased risk for endometrial cancer, respectively. Further large and comprehensive studies in various populations with more detailed individual data are needed to confirm our findings.

Aim Findings from recent studies suggest that obesity may be associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer, but several earlier studies were less conclusive. Here we strive to estimate this relationship in a meta-analysis of published data. Methods We searched Pubmed and Embase for studies on body mass index and the risk of endometrial cancer, published from 1989 to 2011. Data were independently extracted and analyzed using random or fixed effects meta-analysis depending on the degree of heterogeneity. Results Seven cohort studies and 11 case-control studies were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, the conditions of excess body weight ([EBW] defined as body mass index [BMI] ≥25 kg/m2), obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) and overweight (25< BMI <30 kg/m2) were associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer (relative risk [RR] for EBW=1.62, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.39-1.89; for obesity RR=2.54, 95% CI, 2.11-3.06; for overweight RR=1.32, 95% CI, 1.16-1.50). Subgroup analyses showed that the positive associations were independent of study design, geographic locations, self-reported BMI, alcohol use, smoking habit, history of diabetes, hormone therapy, age at menarche, age at menopause, parity, and age at first full term pregnancy. However, there was no statistically significant association between EBW and endometrial cancer risk for measured BMI (for EBW RR=1.29, 95% CI, 0.66-2.53). Conclusions The findings from this meta-analysis strongly support that the conditions of EBW, overweight, and obesity are all associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer. Also, the strength of the association increases with increasing BMI.

Abstract It is unclear how endometrial cancer risk factors such as obesity, high serum testosterone, and high serum levels of the endocrine-disrupting compound bisphenol-A (BPA) influence hormone action to promote carcinogenesis. We hypothesized that obesity, high testosterone, and BPA exposure alters the protective progesterone response in the benign endometrium. Primary human benign endometrial organoids, consisting of both epithelial and stromal cells, were exposed to each of these risk factors in vitro in the presence of cyclic levels of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone for 14 days. Progesterone response genes HSD17B2, IGFBP1, PAEP, and PRL were measured by real-time qPCR and IHC. First, to simulate obesity, endometrial organoids were cocultured with increasing numbers of human adipocyte spheroids during the hormone treatment. Real-time qPCR analysis revealed dysregulation of expression of HSD17B2 and IGFBP1 by approximately 20% when cocultured with 30 adipocyte spheroids. In addition, PRL protein levels were significantly lower in the stroma of the endometrial organoids. Second, increasing concentrations of BPA and 3nM testosterone individually or in combination were added to endometrial organoids together with the 14-day menstrual cycle hormones. Treatment with 0.6 ng/mL of BPA decreased expression of HSD17B2, IGFBP1, and PAEP by 50% to 80%. However, this effect was not seen in the context of high testosterone, indicating that there may be crosstalk between these two risk factors. In summary, this study demonstrated that adipocytes, BPA exposure, and high testosterone directly alter progesterone action in benign endometrial organoids, suggesting a diminution of the protective effects of progesterone and an increased risk of endometrial cancer.

Objective: To evaluate the pr eoperative endo metria l cancer risk as a guida nce to choose th e typ e of surg ical approach based on European Society for Medical Oncology guideline (200 9). Method: Cross-sectional study involved 73 endometrial cancer patients of Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, from january 200 6 to December 2012 whi ch obt ain ed from medical record. The inclusion criteria wer e endometr ial cancer pati ents with compl ete D&C, ultr asonographic, and postoperative histopathological rep orts. Endometrial cancer risk of recurren ce was classified acco rding to ESMO 2009 and final diagno sis and stage based on FIGO. Result: From 40 5 patients, only 73 patients had compl ete reports. Most of the them were postmenopaus al (54.8 %), non-nulliparity (79 .9%), and obese (49.5%) women.According to risk of recurren cestratification, low, intermediate and high risk were found in 12 patients, 27 patients, and 34 pati ents. Based on FIGO, there were 60.2% early and 39.8% advanced sta ge. In high risk gro up, rates of advan ced stage wer e prominent compar ed to othe r gro ups. There were 38.3% patients with postoper ativ e positive lymph nod es metastases. Conclusion: Most of th e endometrial cancer patients we re pr eoperatively diagnosed as high risk. The commones t stage after surgical examination were me. High risk of recurrence showed more positive lymph node compared to low or intermediat e risk. Result of preoperative histopathological and myometrial invasion compared to postoper ative results wer e showed to be inconsistent Pat ients with =1/2 myometrial invasion had more positive lymph nodes metastases. Endometrial cancer risks compared to FIGO stage showed the higher the risk, th e more advanced the stage were. Keywords: endometrial cancer, FIGO stage, high risk, histol ogical type, intermediate risk , low risk, lymph node.

Women with histologically proven endometriosis/adenomyosis have an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Small studies show conflicting results on the endometrial cancer risk in women with endometriosis/adenomyosis. Therefore, we assessed the incidence of endometrial cancer in women with histologically proven endometriosis or adenomyosis. We performed a population-based retrospective cohort study of 129,862 women with histologically proven endometriosis/adenomyosis, matched with 132,700 women with a nevus selected from the Dutch pathology registry between 1990 and 2015. Histology results for endometrial cancer were retrieved. Crude and age-adjusted odds ratios for endometrial cancer were estimated. In the endometriosis/adenomyosis group, 1827 (1.4%) women had a histological report on endometrial cancer, and in the nevus group, 771 (0.6%) women. The age-adjusted OR for endometrial cancer was 2.58 (95%CI 2.37–2.81). After excluding the first year of follow-up, the age-adjusted OR was 0.76 (95%CI 0.63–0.92), indicating that endometrial cancer is most often found at time of histological diagnosis of endometriosis/adenomyosis. In around 20% of the endometrial cancer cases, the endometrial cancer was not recognized until after hysterectomy. Of these women, 35% had no prior (micro)curettage or biopsy. This study shows an increased incidence of endometrial cancer in women with histologically proven endometriosis and adenomyosis.
