Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping shows promise for endometrial cancer recurrence and prognosis. Further clinical research is needed to fully understand SLN

Area Of Science

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Bibliometrics

Background

  • The role of sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) in endometrial cancer management is debated.
  • Existing literature requires comprehensive analysis to identify research trends and hotspots.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To conduct a bibliometric analysis of research on sentinel lymph nodes in endometrial cancer.
  • To identify key contributors, core journals, and emerging research frontiers in this field.

Main Methods

  • Bibliometric analysis of 545 articles from the Web of Science core database (1900-present).
  • Descriptive statistics and visualization using VOSviewer and R package.
  • Analysis of countries, journals, institutions, authors, and keywords.

Main Results

  • USA is the leading country, with Gynecologic Oncology and International Journal of Gynecological Cancer as core journals.
  • Abu-Rustum Nadeem R is the most productive author.
  • Current research focuses on endometrial cancer, SLN, lymphadenectomy, biopsy, and indocyanine green (ICG), with complications, guidelines, outcomes, and survival as frontiers.

Conclusions

  • Sentinel lymph node mapping holds significant promise for improving recurrence and prognosis in endometrial cancer patients.
  • Extensive global research highlights breakthroughs, but further clinical studies are essential to elucidate the full role of SLN.
