The Role of ErbB Receptors in Endometrial Cancer

The Role of ErbB Receptors in Endometrial Cancer

Abstract

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract. Overall, about 2% to 3% of women develop EC during their lifetime [Jemal et al., 2006]. EC is a malignancy that occurs primarily in postmenopausal women. Based on clinical and pathological features, EC is classified into 2 types [Bokhman, 1983]. Type I EC, represents the majority of sporadic EC cases (70-80%), is usually well differentiated and endometrioid in histology. Type II EC, represents the minority of sporadic EC cases (10-20%), is poorly differentiated and usually papillary serous or clear cell in histology [Bokhman, 1983; Lax, 2004; Doll et al., 2008]. The Epidermal Growth Factor system (EGF system) is present in human organs and play important role in embryogenesis and postnatal development [Casalini et al., 2004; Uberall et al., 2008]. Dysregulation of the EGF signaling network is implicated in various disorders [Marmor et al., 2004; Uberall et al., 2008]. In cancer, the EGF system contributes in proliferation, transformation, angiogenesis, migration and invasion [Holbro et al., 2003].
