Lymph node surgery study for certain early endometrial cancers
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether adding lymph node removal (lymphadenectomy) during surgery helps people with certain early-stage endometrial cancer. It focuses on patients who do not have visibly enlarged lymph nodes and who can safely have the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed endometrial cancer and it fits specific early-stage groups (T1a G3, T1b, or T2) based on your biopsy
- You have not had prior cancer surgery for endometrial cancer, or you had certain additional surgery within 8 weeks after hysterectomy only if no lymph node surgery was done
- Your scans/exam show no large (bulky) lymph nodes
- You are generally well enough for surgery (ECOG 0–1) and between ages 18 and 75
- You have no prior chemotherapy, radiation, or hormone (endocrine) treatment for endometrial cancer
- You can safely have surgery, including lymph node removal, and can follow the study plan

This study compares two ways of removing lymph nodes during surgery for a high-risk type of uterine (endometrial) cancer with a p53 gene mutation. You would be randomly assigned to either removing only the sentinel (first few) lymph nodes or removing many lymph nodes, to see if the less invasive approach is just as good.
This study compares two ways to check lymph nodes during surgery for early-stage endometrial (uterine) cancer: sentinel node biopsy versus removing more lymph nodes. It may help find whether the less extensive approach can stage the cancer accurately with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two ways to remove lymph nodes during hysterectomy for endometrial cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to find which method works better with similar or fewer side effects.
This study looks at women with low-risk endometrial cancer who had tiny amounts of cancer cells found in their sentinel lymph nodes during surgery. Doctors want to see if it's safe to avoid additional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.
This trial studies whether removing (dissecting) lymph nodes during surgery can improve care for people with early-stage ovarian cancer that still needs chemotherapy. You may be eligible if you have certain ovarian cancer types and your scans and surgery do not show clearly suspicious lymph nodes.
This trial studies whether removing lymph nodes during surgery helps people with stage IIICr cervical cancer. It looks at outcomes and may help guide better treatment for lymph node spread.
