Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated significant clinical activity across various tumor subtypes; however, their utility in gynecologic malignancies has thus far proven modest. Since the identification of a molecular subclassification system for endometrial cancer (EC), research in immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies has been focusing on certain subgroups predictive for response, particularly microsatellite instability hypermutated/DNA mismatch repair-deficient subtype. Dostarlimab, a PD-1 inhibitor, has demonstrated preliminary evidence of clinical activity and acceptable safety profile in patients with across recurrent EC, particularly microsatellite instability-hypermutated/DNA mismatch repair-deficient EC. This review outlines existing data for the efficacy and safety of dostarlimab in recurrent or advanced-stage EC.Entities:
