摘要

Endometrial Cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor in gynecology, marked by high incidence and poor prognosis. The discovery of cuproptosis, a copper-dependent cell death pathway, offers new therapeutic potential. We systematically reviewed literature on cuproptosis mechanisms in endometrial cancer, including copper metabolism dysregulation, prognostic biomarkers, and therapeutic strategies. Then we identified three key findings: (1) Copper homeostasis disruption promotes cancer via angiogenesis, metastasis, and chemoresistance; (2) Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2 A and glutaminase exhibit strong prognostic predictive value; (3) The strategy of regulating copper homeostasis exhibits anticancer effects. Cuproptosis targeting represents a promising strategy for endometrial cancer management. Further clinical validation of cuproptosis-related biomarkers and optimization of combination therapies are warranted.
