As secondary objectives, we determined the global prevalence of abnormal p53 in grade 3 endometrioid endometrial carcinomas and the geographical variations. Methods: The following electronic databases were searched: PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science. We followed the Meta-Analysis for Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. This review was preregistered with PROSPERO (no: CRD42023495192). Bias was assessed using the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. For time-to-event data, the effect of p53 status on grade 3 endometrial cancer was described using hazard ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Overall survival and progression-free survival were analyzed using one- and two-stage approaches, the Kaplan–Meier method, and Cox proportional hazards models. Results: Fifty-seven studies with 2528 patients were included. Patients with abnormal p53 had an increased risk of death (HR, 1.29 (95% CI, 1.11–1.48); I2 = 88%) and disease progression (HR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.42–1.88; I2 = 2%) compared with patients with wildtype p53 G3 endometrial cancer. The global pooled prevalence of abnormal p53 was 30% (95% CI, 25–34%; tau2 = 0.02; I2 = 74%), with the highest prevalence being found in studies conducted in Asia (95% CI, 27–41%; tau2 = 0.01; I2 = 52%). Conclusions: Abnormal p53 grade 3 endometrioid endometrial cancer is more common in Asia, and it is associated with decreased overall survival and progression-free survival.2469984engendometrial cancerhigh-grade endometrioidmeta-analysisoverall survivalp53prevalenceprogression-free survivalsystematic reviewOncologyCancer ResearchSDG 3 - Good Health and Well-beingreview10.3390/cancers17010038https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85214452426
