Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNBx) is effective for staging endometrial, vulvar, and cervical cancers, reducing surgical morbidity. Further research is needed to establish SLNBx for ovarian cancer treatment.

Area of Science:

Gynecologic Oncology
Surgical Pathology
Cancer Staging

Background:

Accurate lymph node metastasis assessment is vital for gynecologic cancer prognosis and treatment.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNBx) offers a less invasive alternative to traditional lymphadenectomy, improving patient quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

This review assesses the efficacy, safety, and clinical utility of SLNBx in gynecologic cancers.
The aim is to guide clinical practice and identify future research directions.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science.
Included studies focused on endometrial, vulvar, cervical, and ovarian cancers, encompassing peer-reviewed articles, reviews, guidelines, and consensus statements.

Main Results:

SLNBx is validated for staging vulvar and endometrial cancers.
For cervical cancer, studies show high detection rates and comparable survival with reduced comorbidities.
Ovarian cancer SLNBx shows variable detection rates, necessitating further investigation.

Conclusions:

SLNBx is clinically supported for staging endometrial, vulvar, and cervical cancers.
Standardized protocols and continued research are required to integrate SLNBx into ovarian cancer management.
