Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common cancer of all gynecological malignancies. Most women are diagnosed with an earlystage disease, which generally has a good prognosis. Lymph node dissection represents a cornerstone not only for staging but also for treatment of EC.<\/p>\n
In recent years a novel technique \u201cSentinel lymph node (SLN)\u201d emerged as a valuable alternative option to lymphadenectomy. This technique has in most of the literature reports a reduced morbidity and enhanced detection of metastatic disease, due to contribution to detection of aberrant lymphatic pathways on one hand, and improvement of pathologic ultra-staging techniques on the other hand.<\/p>\n
The current review aims to summarize the existing data on the feasibility of the SLN technique and the oncologic outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
