NCT ID NCT04586959
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looks at whether using a uterine manipulator during minimally invasive surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer causes cancer cells to appear in the abdominal fluid. About 278 adults with suspected early-stage cancer will be randomly assigned to have surgery with or without the manipulator. The goal is to see if the tool increases the risk of spreading cancer cells, which could affect future treatment.
