The prognosis of patients with advanced endometrial cancer is poor with limited therapeutic options. Nevertheless, the integration of molecular features in the clinico-pathological classification of endometrial cancer has significantly refined prognostic risk groups, representing a major breakthrough not only in the management of the disease but also in treatment perspectives. New therapeutic compounds such as target therapies, immunotherapy, and hormonal therapies have emerged for this clinical setting. Furthermore, molecular-driven clinical trials may improve significantly the efficacy of new treatments selecting those patients who are highly likely to respond. This review aims at describing the state of the art of advanced stage III-IVa endometrial cancer management, providing also the most interesting clinical perspectives.
