Our findings provide insights into understanding the endometrial cancer metabolic landscape and improvement in diagnosis. The metabolic dysregulation described in this article linked specific metabolites and pathophysiological mechanisms including cellular proliferation, energy supply, and invasion of neighboring tissues. Furthermore, cervicovaginal metabolite levels related to tumor characteristics, which are used for risk stratification. Overall, development of noninvasive diagnostics can improve both the acceptability and accessibility of diagnosis.
