Abstract

Objective: To review the narrative of the sentinel lymph node theme in endometrial cancer. Methods: As regards the methodological guidelines, it is a monograph of narrative revision elaborated from bibliographical research and theoretical reference published on the light of the subject. Results: The results were considered those discussed with the theoretical reference, allowing to consider that the physician must confirm the involvement of the lymph node network in the endometrial CA by means of complementary tests, for this method there are two methodologies: Sentinel Lymph Node Research (LNS) by dye injection or by radioisotope injection for detection of (LNS) of the pelvic or para-aortic regions in endometrial CA through cervical injection, followed by visual detection of lymph nodes stained or using Gamma Probe or another method of detecting marked lymph nodes. The examination is the most affordable, in costs, and may reduce the need for healthy lymph node extraction. Conclusion: Sentinel lymph node investigation procedures in endometrial cancer can often be partially or totally avoided by classical lymphadenectomy, depending on the clinical evaluation of the specialist, this surgical staging procedure allows for less aggressive interventions with low operational costs and customer recovery.
