8 A multicentric randomized trial to evaluate the role of uterine manipulator on laparoscopic/robotic hysterectomy for the treatment of low-risk endo…
2020
Background The role of the intrauterine manipulator in minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer has been widely debated in terms of impact on the oncological outcomes. To date, definitive conclusions on the possible advantages and oncological safety of its use in endometrial cancer staging are still awaited. Objectives This randomized trial aimed to assess the role of the uterine manipulator in terms of oncological and perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing minimally invasive (laparoscopic/robotic) staging for presumed low-risk endometrial cancer. Study Design Enrolled patients were randomly allocated in two groups according to the use (Group A) or no use (Group B) of t…
37 Quantitative evaluation of lymph-vascular space invasion (LVSI) in patients affected by endometrial cancer: prognostic and clinical implications
2020
Objectives Lymph-vascular space invasion (LVSI) is associated with an increased risk of recurrence. Usually, the interpretation of LVSI is just qualitative, as presence or absence. The aim of this study is to examine the quantitative analysis of LVSI. Methods Retrospective multicentre study. It included 2300 consecutive patients who received a histologically confirmed diagnosis of endometrial cancer between January 2000 and December 2018 at the Gynaecologic Oncology Unit of two tertiary hospitals in Italy. Results The rate of lymph node metastasis increased from the 5% in patients with no LVSI, to 15% in patients with focal LVSI and 33% in those with diffuse LVSI (p Conclusion The presence …
Laparoscopic sentinel node mapping with intracervical indocyanine green injection for endometrial cancer: the SENTIFAIL study – a multicentric analys…
2020
ObjectivesLaparoscopy is commonly used for endometrial cancer treatment, and sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping has become the standard procedure for nodal assessment. Despite the standardization of the technique, there is no definitive data regarding its failure rate. The objective of this study is to identify factors associated with unsuccessful SLN mapping in endometrial cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic SLN mapping after intracervical indocyanine green (ICG) injection.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated a consecutive series of endometrial cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic SLN mapping with intracervical ICG injection, in four oncological referral centers from January 2016 t…
A Multicentric Randomized Trial to Evaluate the ROle of Uterine MANipulator on Laparoscopic/Robotic HYsterectomy for the Treatment of Early-Stage End…

ObjectiveThis prospective randomized trial aimed to assess the impact of the uterine manipulator in terms of lymph vascular space invasion (LVSI) in patients undergoing minimally invasive staging for early-stage endometrial cancer.MethodsIn this multicentric randomized trial, enrolled patients were randomly allocated in two groups according to the no use (arm A) or the use (arm B) of the uterine manipulator. Inclusion criteria were G1-G2 early-stage endometrial cancer at preoperative evaluation. The variables collected included baseline demographic characteristics, perioperative data, final pathology report, adjuvant treatment, and follow-up.ResultsIn the study, 154 patients (76 in arm A an…
