Endometrial serous adenocarcinoma
MONDO:0006196A high grade, aggressive adenocarcinoma arising from the endometrium. It is characterized by the presence of complex papillary patterns with cellular budding. Atypical mitoses, necrosis, and psammoma bodies may be present. It is classified as type II endometrial carcinoma and it is not associated with endometrial hyperplasia. It tends to invade deeply into the myometrium and spreads into the lymphatic vessels. Patients frequently present with spread of the tumor beyond the uterus at the time of diagnosis. The prognosis is usually poor.
Also known as: uterine serous adenocarcinoma, uterine serous carcinoma, body of uterus serous adenocarcinoma, endometrial serous adenocarcinoma, serous endometrial adenocarcinoma, uterine corpus serous adenocarcinoma, uterine papillary serous carcinoma, uterine serous papillary adenocarcinoma

New hope for aggressive uterine cancer: targeted drug trial shows promise
Disease control OngoingThis study tests an investigational drug called AZD1775 in women whose uterine cancer has come back or persists. The drug works by blocking a protein that helps cancer cells repair themselves, potentially slowing tumor growth. About 49 participants with two aggressive types of ut…
