Molecular Classification in Patients With Endometrial Cancer After Fertility-Preserving Treatment: Application of ProMisE Classifier and Combination of Prognostic Evidence

The Proactive Molecular Risk Classifier for Endometrial Cancer (ProMisE) is a molecular classification system that identifies endometrial cancer (EC) into four prognostically distinct subtypes: POLE-mutated, mismatch repair deficiency (MMR-D), p53 wild-type (p53wt), and p53 abnormal (p53abn).

Sumario:The Proactive Molecular Risk Classifier for Endometrial Cancer (ProMisE) is a molecular classification system that identifies endometrial cancer (EC) into four prognostically distinct subtypes: POLE-mutated, mismatch repair deficiency (MMR-D), p53 wild-type (p53wt), and p53 abnormal (p53abn). However, few reports have applied the ProMisE classifier to EC patients who underwent fertility-preserving treatment (FPT) so far. This study evaluated whether the ProMisE classifier predicted in early-stage EC patients after FPT. We first summarized the three reported outcomes of ProMisE applied to EC patients who received FPT. The hormone-treated patients with EC from 2010 to 2020 in our facility were then analyzed. By sequential immunohistochemistry and Sanger sequencing of POLE according to the ProMisE system, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks of patients before treatment were collected and classified into POLE-mutated, MMR-D, p53wt, and p53abn subtypes. The primary outcome was a complete response rate after FPT. Thirteen patients were enrolled from our facility, with 3 (3/13) MMR-D, 0 (0/13) POLE, 8 (8/13) p53wt, 1 (1/13) p53abn, and 1 (1/13) failed with DNA amplification. Six (6/8) patients with p53wt, 2 (2/3) patients with MMR-D, and 1 (1/1) patient with p53abn achieved a complete response in 6 months after treatment. The results of our study and the reported outcomes were finally combined. A total of 106 patients who underwent FPT were included. Of these, 23 (21.7%) were classified as MMR-D, 3 (2.8%) as POLE-mutated, 3 (2.8%) as p53abn, and 77 (72.6%) as p53wt. There was no significant difference in the complete response rate (P = 0.152) and recurrence rate (P = 0.174) between MMR-D and p53wt subtypes after FPT. Based on current data, we observed no prognostic significance of the ProMisE classifier in EC patients who underwent FPT. Larger prospective studies are needed to elucidate the precise prognostic meaning of this molecular classifier in these cases.
