Among patients with stage IIIC endometrial cancer, POLE mutated tumors exhibited an extremely low prevalence, with no specific molecular profile emerging as the largest molecular subgroup. Despite the significant difference in recurrence-free survival between molecular classes, conventional histopathologic parameters retained crucial prognostic value. Our findings highlight the necessity of integrating molecular classes with pathological characteristics, rather than considering them in isolation as crucial prognostic factors in stage IIIC endometrial cancer.
