NCLN as a potential prognosis biomarker in endometrial cancer.

ABSTRACT: Endometrial cancer (ECs) stands as one of the three major malignancies impacting females globally, with its incidence steadily increasing. ECs can be categorized into two types based on their clinicopathological features. Type I ECs typically exhibit low stage, favorable histological types, and low histological grade, correlating with a more favorable prognosis. Conversely, Type II ECs present with advanced-stage disease, aggressive behavior, and poorer histological types, resulting in a worse prognosis. The expression level of progesterone receptors (PR) holds significant importance in determining the prognosis of patients with ECs. Elevated levels of PR are linked to a more favorable prognosis, primarily attributed to progesterone's inhibitory influence on cancer cell proliferation and i
