Technique for improving the adoption of minimally invasive surgery in challenging cases
Findings linking mismatch repair mutation with age at endometrial and ovarian cancer onset in Lynch syndrome
Current landscape and future perspective of sentinel node mapping in endometrial cancer
Endometrial cancer (EC) represents the most common gynecological neoplasm in developed countries. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for EC. Although EC is characterized by a high prevalence several features regarding its management are still unclear. In particular the execution of lymphadenectomy is controversial. The recent introduction of sentinel node mapping represents the mid-way between the execution and omission of node dissection in EC patients. In the present review we discuss the emerging role of sentinel node mapping in EC. In addition, we discussed how type of tracers utilized and site of injection impacted on sentinel node detection rates. Future perspective regarding EC management are also discussed
