Comparing two surgical approaches for early endometrial cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways surgeons can stage (determine the extent of) early endometrial cancer: laparoscopic surgery (using a small camera and instruments through tiny cuts) versus open surgery (a larger incision). The goal is to see which approach works better for patients with early-stage cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of early-stage endometrial cancer (stage 1A or 1B)
- You cannot have received chemotherapy or radiation therapy before surgery
- You cannot have tumors in your ovaries or cancer that has spread outside your uterus
- You must be healthy enough for general anesthesia and the positioning required during laparoscopic surgery
- You cannot have advanced stage cancer based on pre-operative imaging and 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 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.
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 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 looks at two ways to remove the uterus and cervix for early-stage cervical cancer: minimally invasive surgery (like laparoscopic or robotic) versus open surgery (traditional large incision). It checks whether the less invasive approach works just as well in terms of survival and keeping the cancer from coming back.
This trial compares two ways of removing the cervix and nearby tissue: minimally invasive (smaller incisions) versus open radical hysterectomy (a larger incision). It may help determine which approach works best for early-stage cervical cancer.
