“…In case of sentinel node detection failure on one side, possibility of pathological lymph node involvement on the detection failure side should be considered. In other words, [15]. The above-mentioned findings can be due to proximity of injection site to the lymphatic basin which can mask the sentinel nodes on lymphoscintigraphy images [16,17].…”

“…Finally, in 2005, Maccauro et al [36] performed a study with hysteroscopic injection of ISB and RI, and Niikura et al [37], in 2004, also performed hysteroscopic injection but with RI alone. These authors did report that detection rate was significantly improved (95%) among those patients with only superficial invasion.…”

Background/Aims: To review the literature and compare detection rates, false negative (FN) rates, and negative predictive values (NPVs) of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in endometrial cancer to those in breast and vulvar cancer. Secondary objectives were to evaluate techniques of SLN biopsy in endometrial cancer. Methods: The PubMed database was searched for applicable scientific articles. Detection rates, FN rates, and NPVs were calculated for all studies. Studies were stratified by techniques and compared. Results: Nineteen articles met criteria for this review. The overall detection rates ranged from 62 to 100%, the FN rate ranged from 0 to 50%, and the NPVs ranged from 95 to 100%. There is no technique that is definitively superior to any other with regard to surgical modality, injectant used, injection site, or pathologic techniques. Conclusions: Studies on SLN biopsy in endometrial cancer have a large range of detection rates and FN rates, and larger studies including more patients with metastatic disease are needed for comparison with breast and vulvar cancers. While no techniques are definitively superior to others, minimally invasive surgery, cervical injection, and pathologic analysis utilizing HE staining, immunohistochemistry, and ultrastaging may be clinically advantageous.

Lymphoedema is a clinically unusual picture characterized by slowing down or block of the lymphatic circulation of limb or limbs affected, with progressively worsening evolution and appearance of recurrent acute lymphangitis complications, responsible for a further increase in volume and consistency of edema. The diagnosis or early identification of lymphoedema as well as its predisposition, can be revealed by lymphoscintigraphy. The sentinel lymph node individuation and surgical removal can be considered to be pro-procedure standard for many type of cancers, and preoperative lymphoscintigraphy has been recommended to confirm the successful uptake and direction of migration of radiotracer into sentinel nodes during lymphatic mapping.
