BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Osteopontin (OPN) is a 34 kDa protein that is extensively phosphorylated and rich in aspartic acid, produced by a single-copy gene, and altered by post-translational processes. In several diseases, OPN has been discovered to play a direct role in immunological and inflammatory responses. It is also important in kidney stone disease, preeclampsia, cardiovascular disease, endometriosis, and cancer, among other pathological conditions. It is a crucial extracellular matrix molecule involved in oncology, due to its ability to bridge the gap between inflammation and carcinogenesis. METHODS: Our systematic review has as PICO "Does Osteopontin have possible etiological and prognostic correlations in patients affected by endometrial carcinoma?" Based on online data collected from PubMed, Scholar, Embase, Scopus, and other sources, a preliminary analysis was conducted. A keyword search for "Osteopontin" AND "tumors", "endometrial cancer", and other related terms was used to identify the publications. The relevance of scientific research was used to select articles in English. RESULTS: For our systematic review, the citation search yielded nine articles on the topic. At the endometrial level, OPN plays a role in a variety of biological processes, including angiogenesis, metastasis, altered tissue remodeling, immunological responses, cell adhesion, and migration. CONCLUSIONS: With established direct correlations and a potential role in the assessment of the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease, OPN participates in endometrial cancer, drawing more and more attention from researchers.
