Risk assessment before surgery for endometrial cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial looks at better ways to predict how aggressive your endometrial cancer is before surgery, so doctors can decide if they need to check your lymph nodes. It may help tailor your treatment to avoid unnecessary procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18 or older
- You have been diagnosed with endometrial cancer for the first time
- You are planning to have surgery as your main treatment
- Your cancer is at an early stage (stage I or II)
- You have a tumor sample available for testing
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before surgery

This study looks at combining genetic testing with surgical exams to better understand endometrial cancer. It may help doctors see which treatments could work best for you.
This trial uses a prediction model to better estimate the risk of endometrial cancer coming back. It aims to help doctors and patients make more personalized treatment decisions after surgery.
This study looks at how well a surgical tool is used during standard surgery for early endometrial cancer, and whether it relates to test results from fluid taken in the abdomen. It may help surgeons improve how samples are collected and interpreted during routine care.
This study compares two ways of removing lymph nodes during surgery for a high-risk type of uterine (endometrial) cancer with a p53 gene mutation. You would be randomly assigned to either removing only the sentinel (first few) lymph nodes or removing many lymph nodes, to see if the less invasive approach is just as good.
This is a research study that looks at outcomes in women with endometrial (uterine) cancer who receive the usual standard surgery. Researchers will group patients based on the final surgical and pathology results and what additional (if any) treatment is recommended afterward.
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.
