Brief Summary
This phase III trial compares the effect of sentinel lymph node mapping to standard lymph node dissection in reducing the risk of swelling in the legs (lymphedema) in patients undergoing a hysterectomy for stage I endometrial cancer. Standard lymph node dissection removes lymph nodes around the uterus during a hysterectomy to look for spread of cancer from the uterus to nearby lymph nodes. Sentinel lymph node mapping uses a special dye and camera to look for cancer that may have spread to nearby lymph nodes. Comparing the results of the procedures may help doctors predict the risk of long-term swelling in the legs.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Incidence of patient-reported lower extremity limb dysfunction
The primary endpoint is the incidence of patient-reported lower extremity limb dysfunction at 18 months post-hysterectomy after undergoing lymphatic assessment according to a National Comprehensive Cancer Network guideline-based sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping algorithm with or without completion of lymphadenectomy. The primary endpoint will be assessed using the Gynecologic Cancer Lymphedema Questionnaire (GCLQ) questionnaire. Surveys will be performed at enrollment (pre-surgery) and at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months post-surgery. Patient-reported lower extremity limb dysfunction will be defined as an increase in GCLQ symptom score of at least four (4) points from baseline at any time during the 18 months follow-up. The primary null hypothesis will be evaluated with an intent-to-treat chi-squared test, adjusted for stratification factors. Proportional hazards modeling will be used to generate a hazard ratio and 95% confidence limits of Arm 1 versus Arm 2.
From 18 months post-hysterectomy after undergoing lymphatic assessment to 39 months
Secondary Outcomes (4)
The incidence of lymphedema by quantifiable lower extremity limb changes
From enrollment and at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months after surgery
Rate of successful bilateral SLN identification
At time of surgery
Rate of successful identification of lymph node metastasis
At time of surgery
Rate of perioperative complications
At time of surgery
Other Outcomes (4)
Adjuvant therapy decisions
Up to 24 months
Patient characteristic, extent of lymph node dissection, and adjuvant therapy decisions
Up to 24 months
Progression free survival
The duration of time from study entry to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first, or date of last contact if neither progression nor death has occurred, assessed at 2 years after enrollment
- +1 more other outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Arm 1 (sentinel lymph node mapping)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive ICG dye via injection and undergo sentinel lymph node mapping and excision during standard minimally invasive hysterectomy. Lymph nodes around the uterus may be removed if the mapping and excision cannot be completed. Successful mapping requires no additional removal of lymph nodes. Patients also undergo imaging as clinically indicated and optional blood sample collection throughout the study.
Arm 2 (sentinel lymph node mapping, pelvic lymphadenectomy)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive ICG dye via injection and undergo sentinel lymph node mapping and excision during standard minimally invasive hysterectomy. Additional lymph nodes around the uterus are removed per standard of care. Patients also undergo imaging as clinically indicated and optional blood sample collection throughout the study.
Interventions
Undergo sentinel lymph node excision
Given via injection
Undergo pelvic lymphadenectomy
Ancillary studies
Undergo sentinel lymph node mapping
Undergo blood sample collection
Undergo imaging
Undergo minimally invasive hysterectomy
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histologically proven diagnosis of endometrial cancer based on endometrial sampling with a plan to undergo laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy and lymphatic assessment as part of primary management. Biopsy must be performed within 90 days prior to registration
- Clinical stage I endometrial cancer based on the following diagnostic workup:
- History/physical examination within 30 days prior to registration is reassuring for the absence of metastatic disease
- Age \>= 18 years
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0, 1 or 2
- Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial
- The patient or a legally authorized representative must provide study-specific informed consent prior to study entry and, for patients treated in the United States (U.S.), authorization permitting release of personal health information
- Patients must speak English, Spanish, or Korean
You may not qualify if:
- Patients whom the surgeon believes is not a candidate for pelvic lymphadenectomy due to medical comorbidities or other technical challenges (i.e. morbid obesity or prior surgery)
- History of chemotherapy or immunotherapy for the treatment of endometrial cancer. Progestin-containing therapies such as megestrol, medroxyprogesterone, or levonorgestrel-containing intrauterine device (IUD) are acceptable
- History of radiation to the pelvis, groin or lower extremities, or surgery to the pelvic lymph nodes or inguinal lymph nodes
- Patients who are going to undergo another elective surgery during the same operative event as their hysterectomy (i.e., sacrocolpopexy, cholecystectomy)
- Patients with severe, active co-morbidity defined as follows:
- History of patient or provider identified lower extremity lymphedema
- History of patient or provider identified chronic lower extremity swelling
- History of lower extremity or pelvic deep venous thromboembolism within 90 days of registration
- History of lower extremity cellulitis within 90 days of registration
