The goal of this clinical trial is to assess if circulating tumor DNA can guide adjuvant selection in high-intermediate risk early-stage endometrial cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: • To evaluate if 3-year recurrence-free survival among women with Stage I, high-intermediate risk endometrial cancer who are ctDNA negative after receiving ctDNA-guided observation is non-inferior to adjuvant vaginal brachytherapy (an internal radiation therapy) Researchers will compare high-risk intermediate ctDNA negative participants who are observed to those who receive vaginal brachytherapy to see if they have similar outcomes. Participants will be asked to: * Receive serial ctDNA testing * Visit their study doctor per their standard of care visits about every 3 months for 2 years * Answer a questionnaire about their well-being
This includes a randomized, multi-center, non-inferiority trial for a biomarker-defined subgroup, alongside two parallel, non-randomized exploratory cohorts. The study utilizes a biomarker-stratified design to formally test a treatment de-escalation strategy in patients with HIR endometrial cancer. Following surgery, patients in the HIR cohort will be stratified based on post-operative circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) status, as determined by the Signatera Genome assay. ctDNA-negative HIR Patients, based on the first valid post-operative ctDNA result within the baseline window, will be randomized (1:1) to either: * Arm A: Observation unless ctDNA positivity within baseline window (\<12 weeks), with serial ctDNA monitoring. * Arm B: Vaginal brachytherapy (VBT) with serial ctDNA monitoring. Following the initial baseline test, providers will be blinded to subsequent ctDNA results unless ctDNA positive within the first 12 weeks in Arm A \[in which case, the provider will be notified and treatment of physician's choice (TPC) will be initiated. Initiation of TPC following ctDNA conversion is considered part of the ctDNA-guided treatment strategy, not a protocol deviation or cross-over, and such patients remain in the intent-to-treat population in Arm A\]. Providers treating patients in Arm B will remain blinded to all ctDNA results after randomization. Post-operative ctDNA-Positive HIR patients will not be randomized and will continue serial testing while receiving TPC, which may include observation, radiation and/or chemotherapy. Providers and patients will be unblinded to the initial ctDNA result and blinded to ctDNA results thereafter. The study will also include early stage low-risk (LR) and high-risk (HR) cohorts. Patients in these cohorts will not be randomized. They will continue serial ctDNA testing while receiving TPC, which may include observation, radiation and/or chemotherapy, and during surveillance. Providers and patients will be blinded to ctDNA results during the post-operative, TPC and surveillance period.

Signatera Genome is intended for use as a post-surgical risk stratification tool for patients with early-stage HIR endometrial cancer. The test is used to identify patients with no evidence of MRD following definitive surgery.

Recurrence Free Survival (RFS)
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if recurrence free survival (RFS) is non-inferior among women with stage I high-intermediate risk endometrial cancer who are ctDNA-negative after surgery and managed with ctDNA-guided observation versus adjuvant VBT.
Time frame: 3 years from randomization to the first occurrence of disease recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurs first
Overall Survial
Comparison of overall survival (OS) among all high-intermediate risk (HIR) patients and recurrence free survival (RFS) across treatment groups and assess whether ctDNA-guided de-escalation group is non-inferior to adjuvant VBT.
Time frame: From enrollment to Year 3 and enrollment to Year 5
ctDNA Clearance Rate
Estimate the ctDNA clearance rate among high-intermediate risk ctDNA positive participants.
Time frame: From enrollment until first surveillance visit at 12 weeks
Clinicopathologic and Molecular Risk Factors
Assess the primary and secondary objectives by clinicopathologic and molecular (e.g. POLE, MMR-D, p53 aberrant, p53 wild type) risk factors, and ethnic/racial groups among high-intermediate risk patients.
Time frame: Up to 5 years from enrollment
