Pelvic sentinel lymph node biopsy in endometrial cancer-a simplified algorithm based on histology and lymphatic anatomy.

SLNs along the upper paracervical pathway should be identified in all endometrial cancer histological subtypes; removal of nodes at defined typical positions along the upper paracervical pathway may replace a site-specific lymphadenectomy in case of non-mapping despite tracer re-injection. Detection of SLNs along the lower paracervical pathway can be restricted to high-risk histologies and a full pre-sacral lymphadenectomy should be performed in case of non-display.
