RNA modifications are mostly dynamically reversible post-transcriptional modifications, of which m6A is the most prevalent in eukaryotic mRNAs. A growing number of studies indicate that RNA modification can finely tune gene expression and modulate RNA metabolic homeostasis, which in turn affects the self-renewal, proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of tumor cells. Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is the most common gynecologic tumor in developed countries. Although it can be diagnosed early in the onset and have a preferable prognosis, some cases might develop and become metastatic or recurrent, with a worse prognosis. Fortunately, immunotherapy and targeted therapy are promising methods of treating endometrial cancer patients. Gene modifications may also contribute to these treatments, as is especially the case with recent developments of new targeted therapeutic genes and diagnostic biomarkers for EC, even though current findings on the relationship between RNA modification and EC are still very limited, especially m6A. For example, what is the elaborate mechanism by which RNA modification affects EC progression? Taking m6A modification as an example, what is the conversion mode of methylation and demethylation for RNAs, and how to achieve selective recognition of specific RNA? Understanding how they cope with various stimuli as part of and biological development, disease or tumor occurrence and development, and other processes is valuable and RNA modifications provide a distinctive insight into genetic information. The roles of these processes in coping with various stimuli, biological development, disease, or tumor development and are self-evident and may become a new direction for cancer in the future. In this review, we summarize the category, characteristics, and therapeutic precis of RNA modification, m6A in particular, with the purpose of seeking the systematic regulation axis related to RNA modification to provide a better solution for the treatment of EC.
