Summary

This study looks at whether special scans (PET/CT) and a dye that highlights lymph nodes can find cancer that has spread from the womb in women with high-risk endometrial cancer. About 100 women will get both tests before surgery to see how well they work compared to standard surgery. The goal is to find a less invasive way to detect cancer in lymph nodes.
