Impact of sentinel lymph node assessment on the outcomes of patients with advanced endometrial cancer: A meta-analysis.

Background: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) assessment is used to treat early endometrial cancer; however, its application in advanced endometrial cancer remains controversial. Therefore, we assessed the effects of SLN assessment and lymphadenectomy (LND) on the prognosis (survival rate and primary outcome) of patients with advanced endometrial cancer.

Methods: Pertinent studies were selected from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library until March 19, 2022.
