Gene test could help young women with uterine cancer preserve fertility
NCT ID NCT06799624
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at 100 women aged 18-45 with early-stage endometrial cancer who want to preserve their fertility. Researchers will analyze the tumor's molecular subtype (based on gene testing) to see how it affects response to hormone therapy and recurrence rates. The goal is to better predict which patients are good candidates for fertility-sparing 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 help doctors predict which women with endometrial cancer are most likely to benefit from fertility-sparing hormone therapy, enabling more personalized treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test a new therapy. Results may not apply to all patients, and the sample size is modest.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients aged 18-45 years with a hysteroscopic confirmed diagnosis of endometrial cancer (FIGO stage IA without myometrial invasion, grade 1 or grade 2, endometrioid histology). 2. Patients desiring fertility preservation 3. Molecular classification of the tumor using next-generation sequencing (NGS) or Proactive Molecular Risk Classifier for Endometrial Cancer (ProMisE). 4. Adequate pre-treatment imaging (MRI or transvaginal ultrasound) confirming no evidence of myometrial invasion or extrauterine spread. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia or intraepithelial neoplasia 2. Individuals with tumor samples of insufficient quantity or inadequate quality were not included in the analysis 3. Non-endometrioid histology. 4. Patients with a history of prior uterine malignancy or current synchronous malignancies. 5. Medical contraindications to hormonal therapy
