L1CAM: amending the “low-risk” category in endometrial carcinoma

Purpose Low- and intermediate-risk endometrial carcinomas have an excellent prognosis. Nonetheless, a small subgroup of such patients will experience unexpected relapse. Recently L1CAM was suggested to be a strong prognosticator in endometrial carcinoma. The focus of our study was on low- and intermediate-risk disease, where no or only limited adjuvant treatment is recommended according to current guidelines.
