Blood test may replace needles for endometrial cancer monitoring
NCT ID NCT05049538
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a blood test, called a liquid biopsy, can find cancer cells and predict if endometrial cancer will return. Researchers will collect blood and tissue samples from 1,000 women with endometrial cancer before and after treatment. The goal is to see if this non-invasive test works as well as or better than standard tissue biopsies for tracking the cancer.
