      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: In this study, we intend to refer patients with endometrial cancer who have been referred to Mahdieh / Imam Hossein (AS) Hospital, and are on the list of gynecological surgeries of this hospital, regardless of histological and surgical staging, for at least 4 weeks. Metformin 500 mg tablets are given orally every 8 hours. For each volunteer a form containing basic personal information and demographic information including age, BMI at the time of admission and day of surgery, pregnancy and parity, underlying disease, smoking, menopause, date of first diagnosis And the suggested time for surgery is filled. Patients with the above criteria, after filling out the form related to the initial information, an endometrial sample prepared by pipelle biopsy or curettage will be sent to the pathology department of Imam Hossein Hospital for examination and staining of ki-67 and p-53. And is examined by one pathologist. Patients are given a box of 100 metformin 500 tablets. Explanations about how to take the drug, its side effects, including gastrointestinal symptoms and symptoms of hypoglycemia, etc., and a contact number to communicate with patients participating in the project will be given to the patient by the medical team. All patients will receive treatment according to standard guidelines, and metformin will be discontinued 48 hours before anesthesia to prevent the risk of lactic acidosis. Intervention 2: Control group: In this study, we intend to refer patients with endometrial cancer who have been referred to Mahdieh / Imam Hossein (AS) Hospital, and are on the list of gynecological surgeries of this hospital, regardless of histological and surgical staging, for at least 4 weeks. Metformin 500 mg tablets are given orally every 8 hours.

And is examined by one pathologist. Patients are given a box of 100 placebo tablets similar to metformin 500 tablets. Explanations about how to take the drug, its side effects, including gastrointestinal symptoms and symptoms of hypoglycemia, etc., and a contact number to communicate with patients participating in the project will be given to the patient by the medical team. All patients will receive treatment according to standard guidelines, and metformin will be discontinued 48 hours before anesthesia to prevent the risk of lactic acidosis.</i_freetext>

      <results_IPD_description>What will be shared:
Data collected for the primary outcome measure will be shared.

When:
6 month after publication

To whom:
Data are available for people working in academic institutions and businesses.

Conditions:
Data could be used for meta-analysis.

Where to obtain:
An e-mail in English should be sent to the main executor of the project (Dr. Minoo Rostami) and in addition to introducing the relevant person and organization, the type of data analysis and how to use it in the study should be fully mentioned.
drminoorstmi@gmail.com

How to obtain:
After sending the email to the above address, within 10 working days, the email will be answered and if the use of information, etc. is clear, the information will be provided to the researchers.
