Do tiny cancer cells in lymph nodes matter? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT06689956
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is for people with a low-risk type of uterine cancer (endometrial cancer). Researchers want to see if finding very small groups of cancer cells (called isolated tumor cells) in the first lymph nodes near the tumor changes the chance of the cancer coming back. About 212 participants will be followed over time, but no new treatment is given—this is just observation to learn more.
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 study could help doctors better predict recurrence risk in low-risk endometrial cancer, potentially guiding future treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to any change in care, and results may not apply to all patients.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Low-risk endometrial cancer, defined as endometrioid, grade 1 or 2, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 stage IA (FIGO 2023 stages IA1 and IA2), without substantial/extensive LVSI (≥ 5 vessels involved) at final pathology. Patients with focal LVSI (\< 5 vessels involved) will be included. * Complete surgical staging, including pelvic sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy per National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines and ultrastaging. * Extent of disease in SLN: ITC (defined as tumor cell aggregates ≤ 0.2 mm or \< 200 cells) * No adjuvant treatment after surgery * Research consent provided. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy. * Planning to receive adjuvant treatment. * Presence of synchronous cancer (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer). * Extent of disease in SLN: micrometastasis (\> 0.2 to ≤ 2.0 mm) or macrometastasis (\> 2.0 mm). * Presence of substantial/extensive LVSI (≥ 5 vessels involved) at final pathology. * Prior invasive cancer diagnosis within 5 years of study entry (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer).
