Does a common surgical tool unknowingly spread cancer cells?

NCT ID NCT04586959

Summary

This study is investigating whether a standard surgical tool used to move the uterus during minimally invasive surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer might cause cancer cells to spill into the abdomen. Researchers will randomly assign patients to have surgery either with or without this tool and then check abdominal fluid for cancer cells. The goal is to gather evidence to help surgeons choose the safest technique for their patients.
