Expression of E-Cadherin and N-Cadherin in the Endocervix as a Predictive Factor in Patients with Endometrial Cancer.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecological malignancy. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin in primary endometrial lesions and the endocervix in patients with EC to identify noninvasive predictive factors. In this single-center retrospective study, data on 101 patients who underwent surgery for EC were collected. The immunohistochemical expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin was assessed depending on the tumor grade, location, and cell differentiation. Correlations between E-cadherin and N-cadherin levels in the endocervix and the primary tumor were determined. The degree of histological tumor differentiation significantly affected E-cadherin expression (
