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

Studying endometrial cancer in Mexicans to understand outcomes better.

Phase N/A

Endometrial cancer (EC) affects the lining of the uterus and is common in Mexico. This study aims to understand EC better by looking at its molecular classification, which can help doctors predict how the cancer will behave and decide on the best treatment. Researchers will use a technique called next-generation sequencing (NGS) to study genetic changes in the cancer cells. They will also check for signs of microsatellite instability, which is when certain areas of DNA are more prone to mutations. This study focuses on a specific type of EC called endometrioid, and tests will be done on tissue samples from patients treated between 2015 and 2019.

  • Participation requires having had surgery for endometrioid-type EC at INCan.
  • The study does not accept samples from patients with other types of cancer or those with recent cancer history.
  • No new treatments or medications are involved; the study aims to understand cancer genetics.

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.
