About this trial
A prospective pilot genetic study to evaluate the feasibility of generating organoids from endometrial tumor tissue collected during surgery, performed according to standard clinical practice. Samples will be collected from collaborating extramural facilities, with the aim of analyzing the impact of transport on tissue viability and the success of organoid culture. This study is for exploratory purposes only, without altering the diagnostic and therapeutic pathways of the participants.
