Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) mapping is increasingly used as an alternative to lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer. There is, however, limited data regarding the clinical outcome and survival after SLN mapping. The aim of the study was to determine long-term outcome data in endometrial cancer patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery and SLN mapping.
