Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This comprehensive review highlights the current research on metabolomics and the metabolic pathways involved in endometrial cancer (EC), offering potential non-invasive biomarkers for EC.

METHODS: The data was extracted from published manuscripts between 2015 and 2024 using the reputed search engine "Pubmed." All gathered data were organized into a single table, facilitating a comparison with earlier findings.

RESULTS: The results of this study revealed most metabolites identified in previous metabolomic research on EC are associated with lipid, glucose, and amino acid metabolism.

CONCLUSION: Therefore, understanding these metabolic pathway alterations in EC is crucial for improving diagnosis, prognosis, and treatments by specially targeting these metabolic pathways.
