Immune checkpoint inhibitors have significantly changed our approach to the treatment of advanced/recurrent EC. Single agent anti-PD-1 regimens are highly effective in MMRd/MSI-H patients, but their clinical efficacy remains modest in MMR proficient/TMB low EC patients. Combination regimens that can decrease the tumor microenvironments immunosuppression and increase tumor immunogenicity represent a viable treatment option to broaden the activity of immune checkpoint inhibitors in advanced/recurrent EC patients. An increased understanding of the biomarkers of response and the molecular mechanisms of resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors remains key for the next advancement of the field.
