Abstract:Background: Lymph node metastases (LNM) are rare in early-stage endometrial cancer, but a diagnostic systematic lymphadenectomy (LNE) is often performed to achieve reliable N-staging. Therefore, this prospective study aimed to evaluate the benefit of [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/MRI complementary to SPECT/CT guided sentinel lymphonodectomy (SLNE) for a less invasive N-staging Methods: 79 patients underwent a whole-body FDG-PET/MRI, SLN mapping with 99mTc-Nanocolloid SPECT/CT and indocyanine green (ICG) f… Show more
