SLN Mapping in Endometrial Hyperplasia with Devon Abt
from IJGC Podcast Hosted by BMJ Group
In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Devon Abt to discuss SLN mapping in endometrial hyperplasia. Devon is a fourth-year Resident in Obstetrics & Gynecology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School currently applying into Gynecologic Oncology fellowship. Highlights: - Fewer than 30% of patients with preoperative diagnosis of endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia had concurrent endometrial cancer on final pathology. Endometrial stripe ≥20mm was associated with 2 times the risk of concurrent endometrial cancer. - Routine SLND in all patients with preoperative diagnosis of endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia is not cost-effective and would result in overtreatment. - Endometrial stripe may be a criterion for selectively using a sentinel lymph node algorithm in patients with preoperative diagnosis of endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia who are poor candidates for lymphadenectomy or at institutions where frozen section is not available or reliable.
