[Correspondence] Sentinel-lymph-node mapping in endometrial cancer

We read with interest the prospective, multicentre, cohort study (FIRES trial) by Emma Rossi and colleagues.1 In this study involving 340 patients with endometrial cancer, Rossi and colleagues reported a high degree of diagnostic accuracy in detecting extra-uterine spread, thus suggesting that sentinel-lymph-node mapping might replace full lymphadenectomy in patients with endometrial cancer and apparent organ-confined disease.
