Integrated molecular characterisation of endometrioid ovarian carcinoma identifies opportunities for stratification

Abstract Endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (EnOC) is an under-investigated ovarian cancer type. Recent studies have described disease subtypes defined by genomics and hormone receptor expression patterns; here, we determine the relationship between these subtyping layers to define the molecular landsca...
