Mashup Score: 5
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a promising non-invasive tool that has been demonstrated to be a clinically useful biomarker in several tumor types for risk stratification, prognosis, and early detection of recurrence. However, there are limited data on the clinical utility of ctDNA in endometrial cancer (EC) compared with other solid tumors. The evolution of EC management through the integration of molecular characterization into the treatment algorithm has intensified the need to develop more effective predictive biomarkers to optimize treatment and reduce clinical toxicities.

Mashup Score: 6Gastrointestinal stromal tumor mimicking a gynecologic mass - 3 month(s) ago
A woman in her 40s presented with a 3-month history of abdominal and pelvic pain, nausea, and vomiting. Ultrasound revealed a 15 cm solid heterogeneous mass that apparently originated in the right ovary with high Doppler flow. The CA125 value was 150 U/mL. The International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) Assessment of Different NEoplasias in the adneXa (ADNEX) model model indicated a high malignancy risk (chance of benign tumor 40%; risk of malignancy 60%; risk of borderline tumor 6.2%). A computed tomography scan confirmed an 18 cm ovarian tumor with solid and cystic components, but no signs of carcinomatosis (Fig. 1 A-C).
