Tumor molecular profiling could reduce endometrial cancer therapy by 20%
A retrospective study conducted by scientists from the Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) of MedUni Vienna and Vienna General Hospital found that compiling a tumor molecular profile can result in better risk stratification and hence to better treatment decisions in endometrial cancer. The use of so-called “integrated molecular risk classification” could reduce the use of chemo- […]
