Engrailed-2 (EN2) protein in cervical mucus: a novel biomarker for endometrial carcinoma
The concentration of EN2 protein in cervical mucus can effectively identify endometrial cancer and precancerous lesions. The increased expression of EN2 protein in endometrial cancer lesions leads to an increase in the concentration of EN2 protein in the cervical mucus of endometrial cancer patients.This is a small single-center study, and larger studies are needed to determine the role of EN2 protein in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer.
