IJGC EiC Summer Podcasts: SLN in Endometrial Hyperplasia with Andrea Rosati

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Andrea Rosati. Mr. Rosati is a consultant at the Department of Gynecologic Oncology at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli in Rome (Italy). He is currently attending a second level master "Gynecologic Oncology International Master" at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (Rome, Italy) accredited as a Subspecialty Fellowship by the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology. His main interest areas are gynecological cancer, surgical anatomy, and gynecologic oncology surgery.   Highlights: This study evaluated the prevalence of concurrent endometrial cancer in patients with pre-operative diagnoses of atypical endometrial hyperplasia undergoing hysterectomy.  Among 460 patients, 47.2% were found to have concurrent endometrial cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy provided prognostic and therapeutic information in 60.8% of cases.  It also allowed for the adjustment of adjuvant therapy in 12.3% of high to intermediate-risk patients without increasing operative time or complication rates.  The study suggests sentinel lymph node biopsy can provide valuable prognostic and therapeutic insights in managing atypical endometrial hyperplasia.
