22.4% of our patients were MSI phenotype. We obtained statistically significant differences by multivariate analysis between endometrioid subtype and higher FIGO classification grade with MSI phenotype and obesity with MSS phenotype. Given these statistical results, we propose a function for predicting the probability of being MSI phenotype taking into account the histological subtype (endometrioid/non-endometrioid carcinoma) and FIGO grade as well as obesity. This prediction may be useful prior to hysterectomy, for genetic study of the MLH1 promoter and subsequent genetic counseling.
