Molecular Classification in Mexican Patients With Endometrial Cancer and Its Impact on Prognosis

Female
Phase N/A

Endometrial cancer (**EC**) is a common type of cancer that affects the uterus. Researchers are studying EC in Mexican patients to understand more about its prognosis, or how the disease will progress. They will use a technique called next-generation sequencing (**NGS**) to study genetic changes in the cancer. This includes looking for changes in specific genes like TP53 and POLE, and checking for **microsatellite instability**, which is when certain parts of DNA have errors. They will also use a lab test called immunohistochemistry (**IHC**) to study these changes. This study is important because it may help doctors give personalized treatments to patients based on their unique cancer characteristics.

  • This is a pilot study using samples from patients treated from 2015-2019.
  • Patients must have EC samples available and have had surgery at a specific hospital in Mexico.
  • Results may lead to better, personalized treatments.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
