Laparoscopic staging versus open surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical approaches for early-stage endometrial cancer: a less invasive laparoscopic method and a traditional open surgery. The goal is to see if the laparoscopic approach is as effective with potentially faster recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with early-stage endometrial cancer (stage 1A or 1B).
- You have not received chemotherapy or radiation before the surgery.
- You do not have ovarian tumors or cancer that has spread outside the uterus.
- You are healthy enough for general anesthesia and can tolerate certain surgical positions (like lying tilted downward).
- Your cancer has not spread to other parts of the body based on routine tests.

This trial compares two surgical approaches for treating endometrial cancer: traditional open surgery (laparotomy) versus minimally invasive keyhole surgery (laparoscopy). The goal is to determine which method is safer and more effective for removing the uterus, ovaries, and lymph nodes while staging the cancer.
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 compares two ways of performing a radical hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and surrounding tissue) for early-stage cervical cancer: minimally invasive surgery versus traditional open surgery. The goal is to find out which approach is safer and more effective for treating the cancer.
This trial compares two ways of removing lymph nodes during a vaginal minimally invasive surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer. It aims to find which method is safer and more effective.
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 study compares two minimally invasive surgery methods for endometrial cancer: traditional laparoscopy (small cuts in the belly) and vNOTES (surgery through the vagina). Both use a sentinel lymph node biopsy to check if cancer has spread, and the goal is to see which approach works better.
