Observation after surgery for low-risk endometrial cancer with tiny lymph node findings
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have low-risk endometrial cancer (grade 1 or 2, stage IA).
- You had a sentinel lymph node biopsy as part of your treatment.
- The biopsy found only isolated tumor cells (very tiny clusters of cancer cells).
- You are not planning any additional treatment (like chemo or radiation) after surgery.
- You have not had chemotherapy before surgery, and no other cancer in the last 5 years (except certain skin cancers).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies tumor DNA in blood and tissue from people with aggressive endometrial cancer to better understand the disease. You donate samples during surgery and follow-up visits.
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 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 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 trial tests a “sentinel node” biopsy, using a special dye/tracer, during surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer. It may help doctors find whether cancer has spread to lymph nodes while possibly avoiding more extensive lymph node removal.
This trial looks at preventing the cancer from coming back after treatment for very low-risk endometrial (uterine) cancer. It studies a surgery approach that avoids removing lymph nodes, using scans and blood testing to choose the right patients.
