Molecular heterogeneity in dMMR/MSI-H endometrial cancer in the US.

e17643 Background: Deficient mismatch repair (dMMR)/microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) are actionable biomarkers in endometrial cancer (EC). KEYNOTE-B21 evaluated immunotherapy and chemotherapy vs chemotherapy with/without radiotherapy as adjuvant treatment in patients with EC at high risk (HR) of recurrence. HR EC includes patients with stage I/II non-endometrioid histology with myometrial invasion, stage I/II of any histology with TP53 mutation with MI and all stage III/IVA tumors. While the trial did not meet its primary endpoint, it showed clinical benefit in the dMMR sub-group. The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of dMMR HR EC and associated molecular heterogeneity. Methods: A retrospective cohort study using Aster Insights clinical and tumor RNA/DNA data was conducted. Since data for dMMR was not available, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H), a marker of dMMR, was used as a proxy. Eligible patients included those diagnosed with EC and tested for MSI and TP53 mutation (determined by Whole Exome Sequencing). Prevalence of HR EC by stage, histology, and TP53 -mutant status was estimated. Results: Of 668 patients tested, 141 (21.1%) were MSI-H. Within the MSI-H population, the median age was 64.6 years, 92.2% were white, and 4.3% were black. Prevalence by stage, histology, and TP53 status for the MSI-H population are provided in Table. Overall, of the 141 patients, 37 (26.2%) could be considered high risk based on having stage III/IV disease or non-endometrioid histology. An additional 15 (10.6%) patients had low stage disease and endometrioid histology but TP53 mutation. Conclusions: Our findings indicate considerable prevalence of HR EC among patients with MSI-H tumors. High-stage disease, non-endometrioid histology as well as TP53 mutation contribute to the burden of dMMR HR EC. Limitations include small sample size and, mostly early diagnosis tissue.
