Methods: This study is a retrospective…
Objective: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) sampling in endometrial cancer staging has become an acceptable standard. Indocyanine green dye injected into the cervix and detected by near-infrared light is technically simple and sensitive. We aimed to evaluate SLN sampling in robot-assisted surgical staging of endometrial cancer at a university-affiliated teaching hospital….
In patients with Lynch syndrome, gynecologic cancer often can be the first presenting malignancy.
