About this study

The purpose of this study is to learn if a surgical technique called intraoperative lymphatic mapping can accurately identify the lymph node that is at greatest risk if endometrial or cervical cancer spreads to the lymph nodes.

Early cervical cancer is usually treated by removing the cervix, tissue around the cervix, and the upper vagina. If needed, the uterus is also removed. The treatment also includes removing lymph nodes from the pelvis. Endometrial cancer is usually treated by removing the cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries.

The treatment also includes removing lymph nodes from the pelvis.

Read the detailed description

Patients with FIGO stage I endometrial cancer or patients with FIGO stage I-IIA invasive cervical cancer and who will be undergoing surgical management to include a lymphadenectomy.

↓ Injection of radioisotope and preoperative lymphoscintigraphy with Tc99m either the day before or on the day of surgery by the Nuclear Medicine Department.

↓ Intraoperative lymphatic mapping with blue dye and gamma probe.

↓ Hysterectomy, Radical hysterectomy and/or radical trachelectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the feasibility of identifying the sentinel lymph node in patients with endometrial and invasive cervical cancer using a combination of radioisotope and blue dye.

    Measured: 7 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To determine the feasibility of locating sentinel nodes in the pelvis and/or paraaortic region with preoperative lymphoscintigraphy.

    Measured: 7 years

  2. To document the location of the sentinel nodes in patients with invasive cervical cancer.

    Measured: 7 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lymphatic Mapping in people with Cervical Cancer and Endometrial Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the feasibility of identifying the sentinel lymph node in patients with endometrial and invasive cervical cancer using a combination of radioisotope and blue dye. (time frame: 7 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Sep 2011.
