Official title
The Role of Micrometastasis and Isolated Tumor Cells (ITCs) in Uterine Cancers (Endometrial/Cervical) Submitted to Sentinel Lymph Nodes (SLN) Procedure: an Observational Study
Overview
The role of small-volume lymph node disease (ITC and micro metastases) among patients with endometrial or cervical cancer submitted to sentinel node (SLN) procedure is not clearly defined. This study was designed to create a dataset of patients with lymph nodal disease. Data on type and volume of lymph nodal disease, therapeutic choices and oncological outcomes (DFS, OS, recurrence rate) will be collected and analyzed. This will allow to define the groups of patients who may need or for whom it can be avoided any adjuvant treatment on the basis of lymph node status.
Interventions
- Procedure Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biosy +/- lymphadenectomy
Evaluation of type and volume of lymph nodal disease
Primary outcome measures
- Survival (Disease free survival [DFS], overall survival [OS]) [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years]
- Recurrence rate [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 3 year]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Usage of adjuvant therapy in case of small-volume lymph node disease [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 6 months]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Early stage endometrial cancer scheduled for SLN procedure
- Early stage cervical cancer scheduled for SLN procedure
- Pathological evaluation of SLNs with standard ultra-staging or one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) for the detection of metastasis
- Presence of lymph nodes metastasis (macrometastasis or low volume disease \[micrometastasis and isolated tumor cells\])
Exclusion criteria
- Previous (<5 years) or concomitant malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer
- Advanced/metastatic endometrial cancer
- Locally advanced/metastatic cervical cancer
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
