Biopsy for uterine growths before surgery
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to take a small tissue sample from a growth in the uterus using a thin needle through the cervix, which may help diagnose the growth before surgery. It aims to see if this method is safe and accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman who has a growth or mass in the uterus seen on an imaging test like an ultrasound or MRI.
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the growth.
- You are not a virgin (meaning you have had vaginal intercourse or another reason that allows access through the vagina).
- You do not have an active infection in your genital area.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners that cannot be stopped for the procedure.
- You are not pregnant.

This trial looks at whether taking a small tissue sample (biopsy) before surgery can help doctors better understand unusual uterine growths that look like fibroids. If you're already planning surgery to remove such a growth, this study might help guide your treatment.
This trial uses a special needle (TRU-Cut biopsy) to take a small tissue sample from a tumor in your abdomen or pelvis. The goal is to better understand the type of cancer and help guide your treatment.
This study tests a new way of taking a small tissue sample from a uterine fibroid using ultrasound guidance, right before your planned surgery. The sample helps doctors understand the fibroid better, and the procedure is less invasive than older methods.
This study tests a simple, non-invasive method to detect endometrial cancer in women after menopause who have abnormal bleeding. It aims to find cancer early in those at higher risk, such as women with certain genetic conditions or risk factors.
This trial tests two ways to take a small sample of the uterus lining (endometrium) when it is thin. The results may help women have a more comfortable and effective biopsy.
This trial tests a guidance technique that uses ultrasound images matched to MRI (a real-time “map”) to help track the needle position during treatment for cervical or uterine cancer. It may help make radiation treatments more precise for people who are getting curative-intent radiation with brachytherapy.
