Description
Removing only the sentinel lymph node, the first node cancer drains to, can spare endometrial cancer patients a fuller dissection. A Brno team reports how their center learned the technique between 2019 and 2024, covering 337 patients. Two-surgeon detection rates for both sides ranged from 80 to 92 percent. The senior fellow hit 80 percent by his thirtieth case and 89 percent by his seventy-fourth.
A junior colleague trained under him reached 89 percent, then dipped after working alone. Uterine fibroids and adenomyosis often explained failed detection. The authors advise 30 to 35 supervised cases before independence to protect quality.
