140 Characteristics and Patterns of Care of Endometrial Cancer before and during COVID-19 pandemic
2021
Introduction/Background* COVID-19 outbreak has correlated with the disruption of screening activities and diagnostic assessments. The risk of delayed diagnosis has consequently increased during the pandemic. Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecological malignancies and it is often detected at an early stage, because it frequently produces symptoms. Here, we aim to investigate the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on patterns of presentation and treatment of EC patients. Methodology This is a retrospective study involving 54 centers in Italy. We evaluated patterns of presentation and treatment of EC patients before (period 1: 03/01/2019 – 02/29/2020) and during (period 2: 01/04/…
Anatomical distribution of sentinel lymph nodes in patients with endometrial cancer: a multicenter study.
2022
ObjectiveSentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping represents the standard approach in uterine confined endometrial cancer patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anatomical distribution of SLNs and the most frequent locations of nodal metastasis.MethodsThis was an observational retrospective multicenter study involving eight high volume gynecologic cancer centers in Italy. We reviewed 1576 patients with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of endometrial cancer from September 2015 to June 2020. All patients underwent total hysterectomy with salpingo-ophorectomy and SLN mapping.ResultsA total of 3105 SLNs were mapped and removed, 2809 (90.5%) of these were bilateral and 296 (9.5%) unila…
