NNMT overexpression is an adverse prognostic factor in uterine leiomyosarcoma.

NNMT can aid in the preoperative differentiation of uLMS and uLM. The consequences of NNMT overexpression, such as the activation and inactivation of oncoproteins and tumor suppressor proteins, respectively, as well as the enrichment of the cancer stem cell population, overlap with the major mechanisms responsible for poor prognosis in mesenchymal tumors. NNMT may be investigated further in the context of antitumor treatment in patients with mesenchymal malignancies.
