Objective: To summarize the knowledge about the role of L1CAM in endometrial cancer patients.
Methods: Searching MEDLINE of the original studies related to L1CAM and endometrial cancer from 2000 to September 2017 byusing a searching terms: endometrial cancer AND L1CAM.
Results: L1CAM is an independent predictor for poor survival, progression of disease, and is associated with advanced stage,high–risk endometrial cancer. Preoperave selection of patients to lymphadenectomy or postoperative selection of patients totailor adjuvant treatment depending on L1CAM positivity is promising, but should be confirmed by prospective trials.
