Endometrial cancer is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract in the Western world. The second edition Endometrial Cancer Structured Reporting Protocol was published to the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) website in December 2019, and relates to the reporting of endometrial cancer in hysterectomy specimens. This editorial discusses selected key issues from the second edition of the RCPA protocol, and addresses future challenges in pathology reporting of endometrial cancer.
