Summary
Endometrial cancer (MONDO:0011962) is a cancer with 18 cohort genes (113 GWAS associations across 26 studies; 16 CIViC-evidence somatic drivers; 4 ClinVar predisposition records) and 1,019 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is Diseases of DNA repair (5 cohort genes). Molecularly, ERBB2 Amplification confers sensitivity to Trastuzumab in Endometrial Cancer (CIViC Level B); 15 further subtype–drug associations are mapped below. Top therapeutic interventions include letrozole, dostarlimab, and doxorubicin.

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 18; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.
No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Drug repurposing candidates
30 approved/phased drugs hit cohort targets but don’t yet appear in disease-level clinical trials. Target-inhibition rationale is strongest for cancer driver genes; a bioactivity hit is a screening signal, not a treatment claim.
