Observational study of standard surgery for uterine cancer in women
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This is a research study that looks at outcomes in women with endometrial (uterine) cancer who receive the usual standard surgery. Researchers will group patients based on the final surgical and pathology results and what additional (if any) treatment is recommended afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older.
- Your biopsy or dilation and curettage showed endometrioid (endometrial-type) uterine cancer.
- Your scans and exam before surgery suggest the cancer is only in the uterus, with no spread to the cervix, lymph nodes, or distant sites.
- You are well enough for surgery (ECOG 0–1 or KPS 70 or higher).
- Your planned surgery includes hysterectomy plus sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping, with removal of both fallopian tubes and ovaries (bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy).
- You did not have chemotherapy or radiation before surgery, and you have not had radiation to the pelvis or abdomen before. (Also, no other new cancer in the last 5 years, except non-melanoma skin cancer.)

This study looks at combining genetic testing with surgical exams to better understand endometrial cancer. It may help doctors see which treatments could work best for you.
This trial looks at how to guide follow-up (adjuvant) treatment after surgery for certain early-stage, higher-risk endometrial cancer. It may help by tailoring care based on patient and tumor details to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
This study observes patients who need a scope exam or scraping of the uterus to look for conditions like polyps, fibroids, or cancer. It aims to gather information to improve care.
This trial looks at better ways to predict how aggressive your endometrial cancer is before surgery, so doctors can decide if they need to check your lymph nodes. It may help tailor your treatment to avoid unnecessary procedures.
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 study looks at how moving the uterus during minimally invasive surgery may affect women with early-stage endometrial cancer. It may help doctors choose the safest, most effective surgical approach.
