Synchronous endometrial/cervical and ovarian/fallopian tube carcinoma: a genome-wide mutation analysis.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we explored the genomic underpinnings of synchronous endometrial and ovarian/fallopian tube carcinoma (SEOC) and synchronous cervical and ovarian/fallopian tube carcinoma (SCOC), focusing on their clonal relationships to discern whether these malignancies represent dual primary tumors (DPTs) or have metastatic origins. We established a cohort comprising 54 SEOC patients and 7 SCOC patients. After selection, 17 patients (12 SEOC and 5 SCOC) underwent comprehensive analysis via whole-exome sequencing. The study encompassed a diverse array of histological subtypes, including high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) or uterine serous carcinoma (USC), endometrioid carcinoma exhibiting papillary/mucinous features, dedifferentiated carcinoma (DC), clear cell carcinoma (CCC), HPV-associat
