This study looks at two different ways to help prevent leg swelling, called lymphedema, in women with stage I endometrial cancer. The study will compare standard lymph node dissection, which removes lymph nodes around the uterus, with sentinel lymph node mapping, which uses a special dye and camera to find cancer in nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to see which method causes less swelling in the legs after surgery.
- Duration: You will be followed every 3 months for one year, then at 18 and 24 months.
- Procedures: Involves minimally invasive surgery and possible lymph node removal.
- Eligibility: Must be at least 18 years old, diagnosed with stage I endometrial cancer, and speak English, Spanish, or Korean.
If you're considering participating, ensure you understand the procedures involved, the follow-up schedule, and any potential risks related to the surgery. Discuss with your doctor whether this study is a suitable option for you. You will be required to provide informed consent to join the trial.
