LACE - Laparoscopic Approach to Cancer of the Endometrium: An International Multicenter Randomized Phase 3 Clinical Trial


This phase III international, multicenter, open-label, randomized clinical trial is an
equivalence study with the hypothesis is that Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) is
associated with equivalent disease-free survival when compared to the standard treatment of
Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) for women with apparent Stage I endometrial cancer.

The secondary hypotheses are:

- TLH is associated with equivalent or improved Quality of Life (QoL) at 6 months;

- TLH is associated with reduced treatment-related morbidity;

- TLH is associated with shorter hospital stay;

- TLH is associated with less analgesic consumption;

- TLH is cost effective;

- TLH is associated with improved pelvic floor function.


Inclusion Criteria:



Patients who may be included for this study must have the following:

- Histologically confirmed primary endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the endometrium;

- Clinical stage I disease;

- ECOG Performance status of 0-1;

- Signed written informed consent;

- Females, aged 18 years or older.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients will be excluded from participating from the study if they have any of the
following:

- Other histologic type than endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the endometrium;

- Clinically advanced disease (stages II-IV);

- Uterine size larger than 10 weeks gestation;

- Estimated life expectancy of less than 6 months;

- Enlarged aortic lymph nodes;

- Unfit for Surgery: serious concomitant systemic disorders incompatible with the study
(at the discretion of the investigator);

- Patient compliance and geographic proximity that does not allow adequate follow-up;

- Unfit to complete QoL measurements.
