Cervicovaginal Metabolome and Tumor Characteristics for Endometrial Cancer Detection and Risk Stratification

Endometrial cancer is highly prevalent and lacking noninvasive diagnostic techniques. Diagnosis depends on histological investigation of biopsy samples. Serum biomarkers for endometrial cancer have lacked sensitivity and specificity. The objective of this study was to investigate the cervicovaginal environment to improve the understanding of metabolic reprogramming related to endometrial cancer and identify potential biomarker candidates for noninvasive diagnostic and prognostic tests.
