Comparing two minimally invasive surgeries for endometrial cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterine lining) from a biopsy.
- The cancer must be only inside the uterus, not spread to other parts of the body.
- Your doctor must recommend a sentinel lymph node biopsy (removing a few key lymph nodes to check for cancer spread) as part of your surgical staging.
- You will have surgery using either conventional laparoscopy (small incisions) or the vNOTES approach (surgery through the vagina).
- You must not have had radiation therapy to the pelvic area before.

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 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 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 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 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.
