Biomarkers in Tissue Samples From Patients With Stage I or Stage III Endometrial Cancer

June 17, 2010 updated by: Gynecologic Oncology Group

Micro RNA's Associated With Lymph Node Metastasis in Endometrial Cancer

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is studying at biomarkers in tissue samples from patients with stage I or stage III endometrial cancer.
