Access through your institution Buy or subscribe Women with endometrial cancer who are found to have lymph-node-positive disease during surgical staging by lymphadenectomy benefit from
adjuvant chemotherapy; however, the remaining 78% of women who have node-negative disease do not. Moreover, lymphadenectomy can have adverse effects, including lymphoedema and nerve damage.
New data indicate that sentinel lymph-node (SLN)-based staging is a reliable alternative. In the FIRES prospective cohort study, the diagnostic accuracy of SLN biopsy guided by fluorescence
mapping with indocyanine green dye for the detection of metastases was compared with that of 'gold standard' pelvic ± para-aortic lymphadenectomy. For generalizability, the FIRES
study involved 18 surgeons across 10 centres (tertiary academic or community non-academic). This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access
