Effectiveness of Lymph Node Mapping to Reduce the Risk of Swelling in the Legs in Patients with Stage I Endometrial Cancer

About the Study

This phase III trial compares the effect of sentinel lymph node mapping to standard lymph node dissection in reducing the risk of swelling in the legs () in patients undergoing a hysterectomy for I endometrial cancer. Standard lymph node dissection removes around the uterus during a hysterectomy to look for spread of cancer from the uterus to nearby . Sentinel lymph node mapping uses a special dye and camera to look for a specific lymph node most likely to contain cancer cells. Comparing the results of the procedures may help doctors predict the risk of long-term swelling in the legs.

What the Study Involves

Participants will be divided into one of two groups.

Group A: Participants will receive a special dye injected into the vein and undergo lymph node mapping and removal during a hysterectomy. around the uterus may be removed if the mapping and removal cannot be completed. Successful mapping requires no additional removal of .

Group B: Participants will receive a special dye injected into the vein and undergo lymph node mapping and removal during a hysterectomy. Additional around the uterus are removed per standard of care.

Participants in both groups also undergo imaging as needed and optional blood sample collection throughout the study.

After completion of study intervention, participants are followed every 3 months for one year and at 18 and 24 months.

People, aged 18 years and older, who meet the following criteria:

  • Diagnosed with I endometrial cancer and plan to have a laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy and lymphatic assessment as part of their primary management.
  • Speak English or Spanish.
