Abstract
Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most
common gynecological cancer in high-income countries (cities), and its
incidence rate is on the rise in the world. the growth of obesity and metabolic
diseases are the main potential causes of EC. Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB),
especially in postmenopausal women, is a common symptom of endometrial cancer.
However, AUB symptoms are very common, and only 0.3% of cases are caused by
endometrial cancer. The diagnosis of EC is through sequential transvaginal
ultrasound scan (TVUS), followed by invasive outpatient hysteroscopy and
endometrial biopsy, which is very painful in postmenopausal women and high
failure rate. At present, there are no methods and guidelines for EC screening.
As we know, the exfoliated malignant
cells of EC flow through the cervix to the lower reproductive tract. About 20-50%
of EC cases can be detected by cervical Papanicolaou (Pap) test. A new
noninvasive method to detect the DNA mutation or methylation level in Pap test
is feasible and encouraging.
In this presentation, I will first
share the highly specific methylation genes found in EC tissues and cervical
exfoliated cells. Secondly, clinical research was carried out to screen the
optimal gene combination with high sensitivity and specificity through
standardized detection process. Third, we verified the clinical significance
and clinical application of cervical scraping cells in a
single hospital. Finally, we used the standard kit (CISENDO DNA
methylation detection kit) to detect methylation genes in cervical scraping
cells for endometrial cancer in a multi-center clinical study, which included
more than 10000 women from 16 hospitals.
We will also share how to use endometrial cancer methylation gene
detection to improve the accuracy of hysteroscopy and reduce the number of
repeated curettages in women of childbearing age (fertility protection). According
to the clinical data, we reconsidered the clinical application of methylation
gene detection in endometrial cancer screening and treatment follow-up.
