Sentinel lymph node mapping is a minimally invasive surgical staging procedure that allows identification of macro- and micrometastases. The implementation of sentinel lymph node mapping to women with low-grade endometrial cancer allows detection of lymph node metastases and avoids the morbidity of radical pelvic lymphadenectomy. The extent of myometrial invasion is highly predictive of lymph node metastases but is hard to determine precisely preoperatively. The exact rate of lymph node metastases in the large group of women with <50% myometrial invasion is low but unknown. The benefit of detecting metastases in this group should balance the risk of lymphedema. There is limited knowledge of early and late lymphedema and its impact on the quality of life in women with low-grade endometrial cancer following sentinel lymph node mapping.

低级别子宫内膜癌女性前哨淋巴结标测后患者报告的淋巴水肿


前哨淋巴结标测是一种微创手术分期手术，可以识别大转移和微转移。对患有低级别子宫内膜癌的女性实施前哨淋巴结标测可以检测淋巴结转移并避免根治性盆腔淋巴结清扫术的发病率。子宫肌层浸润的程度对淋巴结转移具有高度预测性，但很难在术前精确确定。在一大群患有 <50% 肌层浸润的女性中，淋巴结转移的确切发生率很低，但未知。在该组中检测转移的好处应该平衡淋巴水肿的风险。关于前哨淋巴结标测后低级别子宫内膜癌女性的早期和晚期淋巴水肿及其对生活质量的影响，了解有限。
