ABSTRACT
Besides histologic features, the presence of nodal metastasis is the most crucial prognostic factor for recurrence and survival for patients with gynecologic cancer. Conventionally, lymphadenectomy has been performed routinely to assess lymphatic metastasis. However, lymphadenectomy may be unnecessary in early-stage gynecologic cancer, because the percentage of patients with lymph node involvement is very low. The recent use of sentinel lymph node mapping has provided high feasibility, safety, and accuracy in the assessment of nodal metastasis. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network Clinical Practice Guidelines have incorporated the sentinel lymph node for nodal evaluation in vulvar, endometrial, and cervical cancers.
