Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Changes in the expression of ki-67 gene in tissue samples of endometrial cancer after using metformin. Timepoint: Before treatment and on the day of surgery. Method of measurement: Ki-67 tissue staining (IHC).;Changes in p-53 gene expression in endometrial cancer tissue samples after metformin use. Timepoint: Before treatment and on the day of surgery. Method of measurement: P-53 tissue staining (IHC).;Determining the effect of metformin on tumor size reduction. Timepoint: Before treatment and on the day of surgery. Method of measurement: Measurement of mass during diagnosis by ultrasound and by the surgeon.;Determining the effect of metformin use in reducing body mass index.
