NanoString’s Spatial Insights Webinar: Molecular and Phenotypic Characterization of Mismatch-Repair/Microsatellite Instability-Discordant Endometrial Cancers
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy and despite therapeutic advancements, mortality rates related to endometrial cancer are rising. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) has categorized endometrial cancers into four molecular classes. Mismatch repair (MMR) deficient endometrial cancer, one of the four molecular subclasses, accounts for 20-40% of all cases. While molecular classification can […]
