Blood test plus genetic score may sharpen recurrence prediction in endometrial cancer
NCT ID NCT07681414
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This observational study looks at whether combining a blood test that detects tumor DNA (ctDNA) with a new genetic risk score can better predict if endometrial cancer will come back after surgery. Researchers will follow 52 women who had a hysterectomy for endometrial cancer, collecting blood and tumor tissue for genetic analysis. The goal is to see if this combined approach helps identify who needs more or less aggressive follow-up treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to more personalized treatment decisions for endometrial cancer, helping some patients avoid unnecessary therapy while ensuring others get the intensive care they need.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not change practice without larger, randomized studies to confirm them.

Who is studied
This study population consists of patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and lymph node dissection at Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital, China, between September 2019 and December 2024. All patients had histologically confirmed endometrial cancer and available matched tumor tissue and postoperative plasma samples for NGS and IHC analysis. Patients with stage IV disease or prior neoadjuvant therapy were excluded. The cohort includes FIGO stages I-III, various histologic grades, and all molecular subtypes. A total of 52 patients were enrolled with a median follow-up of 37.5 months.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Female patients aged ≥18 years with histologically confirmed endometrial cancer. 2\. Underwent radical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and lymph node dissection. 3\. Available formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue specimens. 4. Available postoperative peripheral blood samples for plasma ctDNA analysis. 5. Complete clinicopathological data and follow-up records. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Patients with stage IV endometrial cancer or distant metastasis at diagnosis. 2\. Patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or targeted therapy prior to surgery. 3\. Insufficient or poor-quality tissue or plasma samples for NGS analysis. 4. History of other primary malignancies within the past 5 years (except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ). 5\. Incomplete clinical data or loss to follow-up.
