Stopped early · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Endometrial Cancer

You may qualify if…
- Patients with biopsy confirmed endometrial cancer who have been dispositioned to undergo total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingooophorectomy and lymph node staging.
- Surgical procedures may be performed by either laparotomy or laparoscopy.
- If computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, lymphangiography, or ultrasound has been performed for preoperative assessment, there must be no evidence of metastases. Imaging is not mandatory.
- Patients who have signed an approved informed consent and authorization permitting release of personal health information.
You may not qualify if…
- Patients with a preoperative diagnosis of grade I endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterus.
- Patients with uterine papillary serous carcinoma.
- Patients who have undergone endometrial ablation or a myomectomy within 1 year of the surgery for endometrial cancer.
- Patients with known allergies to triphenylmethane compounds or technetium-99 radiocolloid.
- Patients with a history of retroperitoneal surgery.
- Patients with a history of pelvic radiation.
- Patients with no lesion visible on hysteroscopy.
- Patients with previous exposure to the tracer (to prevent risk of allergic reaction).
