Sentinel Node Mapping in Endometrial Cancer.

The role of adopting PET/CT and its cost-effectiveness in the context of sentinel node mapping have to be further validated into prospective trials. As observed for CT scan [[8]], in high-risk patients PET/CT would be useful in identify gross intra-abdominal disease and suspected nodes, thus tailoring surgical plans. Accumulating data suggested that sentinel node mapping improves detection rate of positive nodes in comparison to lymphadenectomy, thanks to the application of ultrastaging on sentinel nodes harvested.
