Objectives: The relationship between the microsatellite status (MS),
tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and prognosis is unclear in endometrial
cancer. We aim to examine the impact of MS and TILs on prognosis in patients with
endometrioid type EC. Methods: The patients diagnosed with EC were
retrospectively analyzed in the study. MS was evaluated by immunohistochemistry
(IHC) based on expression of MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 proteins. The patients
were stratified according to TIL patterns. TILs were classified as intratumoral
(iTIL), stromal (sTIL), and peritumoral TILs (pTIL). Results: A total of
91 patients with different stages of endometrioid type EC. In terms of MS, 58
patients were microsatellite stable (MSS) and 33 patients were microsatellite
instable (MSI). pTIL score was higher in patients with MSI than patients with MSS
(P
