Comparing lymph node removal methods for endometrial cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be scheduled for a complete hysterectomy that includes removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes, with lymph node removal.
- You must have endometrial cancer confirmed by biopsy that is still only in the uterus.
- Your cancer should have no signs of having spread beyond the uterus on pre-surgery scans.
- If you had chemotherapy before, it must be at least 5 years ago and you must show no signs of cancer now.
- You must have a life expectancy of at least 6 months and have normal liver function tests.
- You cannot have had prior radiation to the pelvis, abdomen, or vagina, or previous lymph node removal in the pelvis.

This trial compares two ways of removing lymph nodes during a vaginal minimally invasive surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer. It aims to find which method is safer and more effective.
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 tests whether removing only the first lymph node to detect cancer spread (sentinel node mapping) is as effective as removing all lymph nodes in the pelvic area (comprehensive lymphadenectomy) for a specific type of endometrial cancer with a p53 mutation, stages I–II. The goal is to see if the less extensive surgery can result in similar outcomes while possibly reducing side effects.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgical techniques for women with early-stage endometrial cancer who need lymph node sampling during their cancer surgery. Both approaches are designed to check if cancer has spread to lymph nodes while causing less trauma to the body than traditional open surgery.
This is an observational study that follows people with endometrial cancer who have had surgery to check and remove pelvic (and sometimes paraaortic) lymph nodes. It looks at how different surgical approaches and any added treatment affect local control (keeping cancer from coming back in the pelvis/nearby areas).
This trial tests a new way to look at lymph nodes during surgery for gynecologic cancers. It may help doctors decide immediately if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, which could guide treatment decisions during the same operation.
