Endometrial cancer is the commonest gynaecological cancer in economically developed countries, and both the incidence and mortality continue to increase. This increasing prevalence highlights the need for novel treatment approaches that will improve patient outcomes. In this Review, the authors describe the epidemiology and standard-of-care treatment approaches for patients with endometrial cancer, as well as highlighting the importance of understanding tumour biology and incorporating this knowledge into better-informed treatment strategies for specific subgroups of patients.
