Background: Uterine carcinosarcomas (malignant mixed Müllerian tumors or MMMT) are rare endometrial cancers (EC) composed of epithelial and mesenchymal components. MMMTs exhibit aggressive behavior with poor prognosis. We aim to evaluate patterns of molecular, genomic and protein changes in a large cohort of uterine carcinosarcomas and identify potential treatment options.
