About this study

Official title: The Compatibility of Preoperative Endometrial Biopsies With Postoperative Final Pathology in Endometrial Cancer; Should Preoperative Pathology Samples of Patients Referred to a Tertiary Center be Re-evaluated?

Although there are many studies comparing preoperative and postoperative histological diagnoses in the literature, there are no studies evaluating the compatibility of preoperative histological diagnoses obtained from different centers with postoperative histological diagnoses.Therefore, in our study, we aimed to determine whether preoperative pathological specimens need to be re-evaluated in the referenced hospitals by comparing the compatibility of endometrial specimens in secondary care and tertiary centers with their final pathologies.In our study, we aimed to reveal the under and overdiagnosis rates of the preoperative histological diagnoses of our hospitals compared to the final pathology.

Read the detailed description

Medical data of 960 patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer by endometrial biopsy between 2002 and 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Of these patients, 41 were excluded from the study due to non-surgical treatment, 254 patients having biopsy only in one center preoperatively, and lack of medical data in 52 patients.The study included 613 patients who had preoperative endometrial biopsy specimens evaluated by two different centers, diagnosed with endometrial cancer and treated surgically. Our study was conducted in the gynecological oncology department of our university after obtaining the approval of the ethics committee numbered 430-2019.The clinicopathological characteristics of the patients were evaluated by examining the hospital records of age, gravida, parity, BM (body mass index), menopausal status and systemic diseases. Histopathological and clinical features of endometrial cancer were reviewed.In this study, endometrial biopsy samples taken in the second stage state hospital were re-evaluated by the gynecopathologist working at the university hospital and / or the evaluation process was carried out in two steps by examining the repeated endometrial biopsy sampling.Patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer were treated surgically in our clinic. Endometrial sampling results based on uterine cancer risk groups; While histologically endometrioid and nonendometrioid were evaluated in two groups, the greade1-2 (low risk), greade3 (high risk) of uterine cancer were evaluated in four groups as those without malingnancy (benign and premaling lesions).By comparing these preoperative histological diagnoses with postoperative surgical final pathology, the accuracy rates for histological type and greade were determined. In addition, lower diagnosis, comorbidity and higher diagnosis rates compared to final pathology were examined for two different centers.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of endometrial sampling results performed in 2 different centers

    in our study, we aimed to determine whether preoperative pathological specimens need to be re-evaluated in the referenced hospitals by comparing the compatibility of endometrial specimens in secondary care and tertiary centers with their final pathologies.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To reveal the rates of under and overdiagnosis of preoperative histological results

    Correlation of preoperative pathological diagnoses with postoperative final pathological diagnoses.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometrial Cancer Stage and Gynecologic Cancer, run by Batman Training and Research Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of endometrial sampling results performed in 2 different centers (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jun 2021.
