Comments:

This review briefly discusses current knowledge in the area of immune cells and how they may alter the course of endometrial cancer (EC), as well as the implications of these cells for novel therapy and outcome. The study concludes in hope that the outcome of ongoing clinical trials and the design of novel clinical trials with combination treatment regimens in EC patients will significantly advance the field of EC therapy, and soon provide much needed translational options for patients with advanced/ metastatic EC, resulting in improved survival.

Further comments on the paper

Comments: This review provides an understanding of the primary cell types in the endometrial cancer (EC) tumor microenvironment (TME) and briefly discusses how novel treatments may potentially modulate these cells to improve survival. The study holds significance as endometrial cancer (uterine corpus endometrial cancer) is the predominantly occurring female gynecologic cancer in the Western world. Even though there are a limited number of studies in the literature characterizing the TME of EC patients, it is evident that immune suppression in EC is multifaceted which further clues that a better understanding of the immune cells will result in improved and novel treatments for this disease.

 

Q: Would you recommend this manuscript for further publication?

A: Yes - Suitable to be published

If you have any questions and clarifications you can write to the journal.
