Robotic or standard surgery for early uterine cancer in obesity
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares robotic-assisted surgery versus standard laparoscopic surgery for people with early-stage uterine (endometrial) cancer and a BMI of 30 or higher. The goal is to see which approach is safer and works better for this group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- Your BMI is 30 or higher
- You have confirmed endometrioid endometrial cancer (a specific type of uterine cancer)
- Your cancer is early stage (stage I)
- You can safely have minimally invasive surgery (not a surgery that must open the belly)
- Your health status is acceptable for surgery (ASA score under 4)

This trial is testing a newer, single-port robotic system (da Vinci SP) for staging surgery in endometrial cancer. It aims to see if this system is safe and effective for removing the uterus, ovaries, and possibly lymph nodes, with less scarring.
This study compares two approaches for women with obesity and early-stage endometrial cancer: having surgery right away versus going through a special weight-loss and health-optimization program before surgery. The goal is to see if preparing the body before surgery improves outcomes.
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.
This study tests whether bariatric (weight-loss) surgery can help treat certain early, low-grade womb changes while preserving fertility. It’s mainly for people with a higher BMI who want to have children and have an early stage diagnosis confirmed by scans.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery (robot-assisted vs. conventional laparoscopy) for removing the uterus in people with early-stage, low- to intermediate-risk endometrial cancer. The goal is to see which approach offers the best value and outcomes.
This trial studies whether robot-assisted surgery can be used safely and effectively for certain early-stage cervical cancers. It may help by using a precise surgical approach to remove the cancer while matching standard care for eligible patients.
