Lymph node evaluation in high-risk early stage endometrial cancer: A multi-institutional retrospective analysis comparing the sentinel lymph node (SLN) algorithm and SLN with selective lymphadenectomy.

CONCLUSIONS: In this study focusing on women with EC in the HR groups, we did not find a difference in the 5-year DFS when comparing the SLN-A strategy with S-LND. The SLN strategy did not seem to compromise the prognosis of patients with a higher risk of recurrence. PMID: 29887483 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
