[Sentinel lymph node biopsy in endometrial cancer--our experience]
Purpose:
The objective of the study was to determine the feasibility of a method described for the first time by Altgassen et al. of labeling sentinel lymph nodes in patients with endometrial cancer using blue dye.
Patients And Methods:
4 ml of blue dye was administreted in 12 patients with endometrial cancer subserosaly at eigth sites. After 10 min sentinel lymph nodes were harvested.
Results:
Detection rate was 91.6%., In only one patient there was no detection of sentinel lymph node and in one patient the sentinel lymph node was marked only in one hemipelvis.
Conclusions:
This method for detection of sentinel lymph nodes in patients with endometrial cancer is promising, fast and easy to implement, but need to conduct additional studies to become part of the standard for the surgical treatment of endometrial cancer
