Testing a faster method to find cancer in sentinel lymph nodes
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares a fast lab test (OSNA) with standard microscope checks to see which better finds cancer in the first lymph node (sentinel node) during surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer. It aims to improve accuracy and speed while avoiding unnecessary lymph node removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have endometrial cancer confirmed by a biopsy.
- Your cancer is early stage (stage I or II) before surgery.
- You are scheduled for radical surgery to remove the uterus, and your surgeon will try to find sentinel lymph nodes.
- Your cancer is not a sarcoma or a rare type like dedifferentiated or undifferentiated.
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before surgery, or any prior pelvic lymph node surgery.
- Your lymph nodes seen on scans are not larger than 15 millimeters.

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 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 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.
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.
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.
