Comparing injection techniques for cervical lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests two different injection methods in the cervix to help map lymph nodes for endometrial cancer. The goal is to find which technique works better for staging, using a dye that helps surgeons see the lymph nodes during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your cancer is in the early stage (stage I). This means it hasn't spread to other parts of the body.
- Your cancer diagnosis was confirmed by imaging (CT, PET-CT) and a tissue sample.
- You have not been treated for another cancer in the last five years.
- You are not allergic to methylene blue or iodine.
- You have not had pelvic surgery or radiation to the pelvis before.

This trial compares two ways to check for cancer spread in the lymph nodes during surgery for esophageal cancer. One way removes more lymph nodes, the other uses a special dye to find and remove only the ones most likely to contain cancer. The goal is to see if the dye method works just as well with fewer side effects.
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 if a special dye (indocyanine green) can find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) during mastectomy. It may help improve staging for women with early breast cancer who need or choose mastectomy.
This trial tests whether injecting a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) in different spots can better find sentinel lymph nodes during surgery for endometrial cancer. It may help doctors remove fewer nodes and reduce 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 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.
