Recurrent/Metastatic Endometrial Cancer: Overview § EC is the most common gynaecologic malignancy in women in the developed world with an estimated 382, 069 new cases diagnosed in 2018 ‒ Highest incidence in Eastern Europe and North America ‒ US: estimated 65, 620 new cases and 12, 590 deaths in 2020 § The incidence of EC is increasing annually by an estimated 1% to 2%; it is predicted to double by 2030 in the US § Prognosis: 5 -yr survival rates ‒ Stage I: 95% ‒ Stage IV: metastatic: 17. 3% Zhang.

MSI/d. MMR: Concept and Incidence § DNA MMR: Highly conserved mechanism used to restore DNA integrity after the occurrence of mismatching errors, including single-base mismatches or short insertions and deletions ‒ 4 genes that play a critical role in this process include: MLH 1 , MSH 2, MSH 6 and PMS 2 § MSI: Condition of genetic hypermutability resulting from defective DNA MMR § MSI/d.

General Principles for Managing ir. AEs § Consult promptly with relevant specialists for affected organ systems (eg, gastroenterology, dermatology) § Management generally based on severity of symptoms ‒ Mild (grade 1): supportive care, consider holding drug ‒ Moderate (grade 2): hold drug, redose if toxicity improves, consider low-dose steroids (prednisone 0. 5 -1 mg/kg/day) ‒ Severe (grade 3): discontinue drug, monitor closely (likely inpatient), start high-dose steroids (prednisone 1 -2 mg/kg/day) with a slow taper (≥ 1 mo) ‒ If not improving in 1 -3 days, increase immunosuppression § Dose reduction is not a recommended strategy § Avoid delays in recognition and intervention Brahmer.
