OBJECTIVE: Around 7-10% of endometrial carcinomas are characterized by polymerase-ε-(POLE) exonuclease-domain-mutations, an ultra-mutated-phenotype and a favorable prognosis. It is currently unknown whether POLE ultra-mutated-tumors are more immunogenic when compared to the other groups of endometrial cancers. METHODS: We used autologous-dendritic-cells (DC) pulsed with whole-tumor-extracts to assess the level of...
