Pelvic sentinel node and vein in endometrial cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial is for women with early-stage endometrial cancer who are having surgery to stage the cancer. It looks at how a special type of lymph node (sentinel node) in the pelvis is related to a surface vein, to help guide the surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have early-stage endometrial cancer.
- You are scheduled for surgery to stage the cancer.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the pelvic area before.
- You have not had previous surgery to remove lymph nodes in the pelvis or behind the pelvis.
- You do not have any other medical condition that would make it unsafe to remove lymph nodes from the pelvis.

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 studies whether very small deposits of cancer (called micrometastasis or isolated tumor cells) are found in sentinel lymph nodes in early endometrial or cervical cancer. The goal is to better understand what these findings may mean for cancer spread and treatment planning.
This trial tests a new way to find and remove the first lymph node that might contain cancer cells in women with large or recurrent vulvar cancer. It uses a special dye to guide the surgeon, which may help improve staging and reduce side effects.
This trial tests a new optical method using a dye to find and remove the first lymph node (sentinel node) that cancer might spread to, to stage vulvar cancer more accurately. It's for patients with a smaller tumor (under 4 cm) that hasn't been treated in the groin area before.
This Phase 2 study looks at how vulvar squamous cell cancer (SCC) spreads to the sentinel lymph node, and how findings may guide treatment. It focuses on specific early-stage tumor features and requires that cancer is found in the sentinel lymph node.
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.
