Abstract
In screening for LS in EC, IHC for MMRPs can be performed with identical accuracy on either EMB/C or hysterectomy specimens. Routine testing of diagnostic EMB/Cs may lead to earlier detection of MMRP deficiency, with improved patient uptake of genetic counseling and potential for earlier identification of immunotherapy candidates. Furthermore, reliable IHC-based LS screening performed on EMB/C can guide patient management and genetic counseling in patients unable to undergo hysterectomy.
