Abstract

Endometrial carcinomas are common gynecological malignancies which have traditionally been classified and graded on the basis of clinicopathological and histopathologic findings. However, these classifications are fraught with subjectivity and considerable overlaps. The new molecular basis of classification intends to provide more objective and accurate information even on diagnostic biopsy which can help the treating clinicians to decide upon the appropriate management at a very early stage. In this review, the need and evolution of the molecular classification will be discussed along with subsequent developments, as a step towards personalized medicine.

Keywords: Endometrial carcinomas, Molecular classification.
