Abstract
Background/Objectives: Pelvic lymphadenectomy has long been considered the gold standard for surgical staging in early-stage endometrial cancer. However, sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) with ultrastaging has emerged as a less invasive alternative. The aim of the study is to assess the detection rate, learning curve and diagnostic accuracy of SLNB in a cohort of patients with a high prevalence of obesity and early-stage endometrial cancer.
