Randomized Phase 3 Study of SELECTIVE SURGICAL STAGING Versus REFLEX Lymphadenectomy in Non-mappers Undergoing Sentinel Lymph Node Sampling for the Treatment of Endometrial Cancer
This study aims to estimate the recurrence-free survival rates in women with endometrial cancer treated with selective versus sentinel node surgical staging. This study will gather information to help determine the best way to evaluate lymph nodes during surgery for endometrial cancer.
• Surgical candidate for complete hysterectomy and bilateral salpingooophorectomy with pelvic and aortic lymphadenectomy
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed carcinoma of the endometrium confined to the uterine corpus
• No clinical evidence of extra-uterine disease on pre-operative evaluation. Preoperative evaluation to rule-out extra-uterine disease may include a CT scan, MRI or ultrasound. Note: preoperative imaging is not mandatory for study enrollment.
• Prior systemic chemotherapy is allowed so long as it was at least five years prior to study enrollment, and there is no evidence of disease after such therapy.
⁃ Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for this endometrial cancer is not allowed.
• Life expectancy (estimated survival) of at least 6 months.
• AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) \< 3.0X upper limit of normal
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
