Background: Recent data has shed light on molecular profiles of uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS), but few have correlated molecular profiles with prognosis. In a preliminary data analysis, we found that hormone receptors (HR)—estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR)—expression was associated with improved OS. Here, we investigate the molecular profile differences between ER+/- and PR +/- tumors.
