Laparoscopy to find hidden cancer spread in advanced cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a small camera operation, called laparoscopy, to look inside the belly for cancer that may have spread beyond the cervix. This helps doctors plan the best treatment for advanced cervical cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have cervical cancer that is large, has spread to nearby tissues, or has spread to lymph nodes in the belly
- You are willing to have a laparoscopy (a small surgery with a camera) to check for cancer spread
- You are not pregnant and do not have other cancers
- You are fit enough for surgery
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether removing lymph nodes during surgery helps people with stage IIICr cervical cancer. It looks at outcomes and may help guide better treatment for lymph node spread.
This trial studies whether surgically removing cancerous pelvic or nearby lymph nodes before or as part of standard treatment improves outcomes for women with certain cervical cancers. It focuses on people whose scans suggest lymph node metastasis can be safely removed.
This trial studies whether a special MRI scan can better predict whether early cervical cancer has spread into tiny lymph and blood vessels (lymphovascular space invasion) before surgery. If it works, it may help doctors plan the best treatment after surgery.
This trial studies how well a less invasive laparoscopic surgery works for women with early-stage cervical cancer. If you have a small tumor and need a hysterectomy, this may be an option for you.
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 whether a minimally invasive camera-guided surgical procedure (laparoscopy) can better detect hidden cancer spread in patients with advanced stomach cancer. The goal is to help doctors plan the best treatment and improve outcomes.
