Evaluation of Clinical and Molecular Biomarkers in Immunotherapy Treatment in Gynecologic Cancer

Overview

Background: Immunotherapy has changed the therapeutic approach for gynecologic gynecological malignancies such us endometrial and cervical cancer. Despite literature data support the strong effect of immunotherapy in these cancers, a share of patients do not respond to immunotherapy. Furthermore the extremely variable immune-related spectrum of toxicity in terms of events and timing makes it necessary to identify predictive factors for the development of these side effects. Hyphotesis: To evaluate the presence of biochemical, bioumoral and or molecular predictive factors in patients affected by endometrial and cervical cancer treated with immunotherapy plus chemotherapy, immunotherapy plus tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) or immunotherapy alone. Methodology: We will retrospectively collect data about patients affected by advanced, recurrent or metastatic endometrial cancer (EC) and recurrent cervical cancer (CC) treated with immunotherapy. We will investigate whether there is a statistically significant difference in the efficacy of immunotherapy according to biochemical, biohumoral and or molecular factors and survival outcomes. Moreover, we will evaluate whether there is a correlation between biochemical, biohumoral and or molecular factors and immune-related adverse events (irAE).
