Study Summary

This trial will compare the recurrence-free survival rates of women with endometrial cancer treated with selective versus sentinel node surgical staging.

Who is the study for?
Women over 18 with a specific type of endometrial cancer that hasn't spread outside the uterus can join. They should be able to have surgery, understand and sign consent forms, and not have had certain treatments for this cancer recently. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those with other serious health issues or another recent cancer aren't eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing two surgical methods for checking if endometrial cancer has spread to lymph nodes: selective staging versus sentinel node procedure. The goal is to see which method is better at preventing the cancer from coming back without spreading.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical risks associated with surgery such as pain, infection, bleeding, blood clots, damage to nearby organs and tissues. There might also be allergic reactions related to the use of tracers in sentinel node procedures.
