Résumé
Lymph node status in endometrial cancer is a major prognostic factor. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy using radiocolloid and blue dye labeling has emerged as an alternative to systematic lymphadenectomy. This technique requires a preoperative lymphoscintigraphy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the limits of day-before preoperative lymphoscintigraphy to SLN biopsy.
