Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy in developed countries, with rising incidence due to aging populations and obesity-related factors. This review explores the evolving molecular and FIGO classifications of EC, highlighting their significance in diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized treatment strategies. Molecular subtyping based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) classification offers a more precise understanding of EC, dividing it into POLE ultramutated, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H), copy-number low (CNL), and copy-number high (CNH) subtypes. Each subgroup has distinct genetic, histological, and prognostic characteristics. Recent updates to the FIGO staging system incorporate molecular features, allowing for more tailored treatment approaches. Advances in immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and novel therapeutic combinations have reshaped clinical management. This review emphasizes the integration of molecular diagnostics into routine practice, outlining challenges and future perspectives in managing EC for improved patient outcomes.

(1) Background: Endometriosis is a widespread gynecological condition that causes chronic pelvic discomfort, dysmenorrhea, infertility, and impaired quality of life in women of reproductive age. Clinical examination, transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are significant preoperative non-invasive diagnosis procedures for the accurate assessment of endometriosis. Although TVS is used as the primary line for diagnosis, MRI is commonly utilized to achieve a better anatomical overview of the entire pelvic organs. The aim of this systematic review article is to thoroughly summarize the research on various endometriosis diagnosis methods that are less invasive. (2) Methods: To find relevant studies, we examined electronic databases, such as MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar, choosing 70 papers as references. (3) Results: The findings indicate that various approaches can contribute to diagnosis in different ways, depending on the type of endometriosis. For patients suspected of having deep pelvic endometriosis, transvaginal sonography should be the first line of diagnosis. Endometriosis cysts are better diagnosed with TVS, whereas torus, uterosacral ligaments, intestine, and bladder endometriosis lesions are best diagnosed using MRI. When it comes to detecting intestine or rectal nodules, as well as rectovaginal septum nodules, MRI should be the imaging tool of choice. (4) Conclusions: When diagnosing DE (deep infiltrative endometriosis), the examiner’s experience is the most important criterion to consider. In the diagnosis of endometriosis, expert-guided TVS is more accurate than routine pelvic ultrasound, especially in the deep infiltrative form. For optimal treatment and surgical planning, accurate preoperative deep infiltrative endometriosis diagnosis is essential, especially because it requires a multidisciplinary approach.

Aim: The aim of the study was to synthesize validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women with endometriosis and to outline their clinical implications. Methods: We conducted a narrative review of English-language literature indexed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, covering the period 2014–2024, with earlier seminal studies included where relevant. We focused on validated PROMs for QoL but also considered standardized tools such as the Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI), rASRM, and #Enzian classifications, given their role in clinical interpretation and counseling. Findings: Generic instruments (SF-36, WHOQOL-BREF, EQ-5D), disease-specific tools (EHP-30, EHP-5), and fertility-related questionnaires (FertiQoL, FPI) have demonstrated validity and responsiveness; however, these are inconsistently applied in practice. Knowledge gaps remain regarding routine implementation, timing, and frequency of assessment, and integration with clinical staging or fertility indices (e.g., EFI). Global frameworks such as the WERF EPHect platform facilitate standardized clinical and surgical data capture, though their use is primarily in research rather than routine care. Conclusions: We recommend combining a disease-specific PROM (EHP-30/EHP-5) with a generic instrument (SF-36 or EQ-5D) and adding FertiQoL when fertility is relevant. PROMs should be collected longitudinally (baseline, post-intervention, follow-up) and interpreted alongside clinical context, including pain phenotype, surgical staging (#Enzian/rASRM), and fertility goals. Embedding PROMs into multidisciplinary pathways enables shared decision-making, individualized treatment planning, and improved comparability of patient-centered outcomes.

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age. It substantially impacts quality of life (QoL) through pelvic pain, infertility, and psychological distress. Increasing attention has been directed toward patient-reported outcomes and validated QoL instruments, which are essential for understanding the burden of disease and guiding individualized management. Materials and Methods: We performed a narrative review of the literature published in the last five years in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, focusing on validated QoL instruments, fertility indices, and clinical outcomes after minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Discussions: The most widely used QoL instruments are the Endometriosis Health Profile-30 (EHP-30), Short Form-36 (SF-36), and EQ-5D, each providing multidimensional evaluation across physical, psychological, and social domains. Fertility-related prognosis is assessed with the Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI), while staging of disease severity relies on rASRM and #ENZIAN classifications. Evidence from comparative and cohort studies suggests that both laparoscopic and robotic MIS can improve QoL and reproductive outcomes; however, the magnitude of benefit varies across studies, patient phenotypes, and follow-up periods. Conclusions: MIS is an increasingly used therapeutic option for DIE, with growing evidence of improvement in pain and QoL, but current data remain heterogeneous and do not uniformly support superiority over other approaches. Routine incorporation of validated QoL instruments and fertility indices into both clinical practice and research is essential to better stratify patients, support shared decision-making, and optimize long-term outcomes.
