Influence of Prognostic Factors on Lymph Node Involvement in Endometrial Cancer: A Single-Center Experience

Discussion Lymphovascular space invasion, histological type, and tumor stage are significant predictors of lymph node involvement in endometrial cancer. In patients at high risk of nodal involvement, lymphadenectomy should be performed systematically up to the renal vein. Large and carefully designed prospective studies are needed to evaluate patient cohorts for which a complete lymphadenectomy provides a survival benefit. In the future, the increasing use of sentinel node biopsy may facilitate a more personalized treatment of patients with endometrial cancer.
