ABSTRACT

Surgical treatment is the primary approach recommended by American and European guidelines for patients with uterine cancer, with the goal of individually tailoring the surgical intervention and deciding on the necessity of lymph node dissection. However, the issue of lymph node dissection remains a subject of debate, and its optimal role in the management of endometrial cancer is still under investigation. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the background, purpose, methodologies, principal results, and major conclusions pertaining to the assessment and surgical management of endometrial cancer. It emphasizes the importance of accurate staging using advanced imaging techniques to guide treatment decisions and prognostic evaluation. The limitations and implications of current research are discussed, highlighting the need for further studies to address the controversies surrounding lymph node dissection and refine the selection criteria for this procedure. The findings of this study contribute to the field by providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in endometrial cancer management. The insights gained from this research have practical implications for clinicians involved in the treatment of endometrial cancer patients, helping them make informed decisions regarding surgical interventions and lymph node dissection. Moreover, this article raises awareness about the increasing incidence of endometrial cancer and the importance of early detection and accurate staging, thereby emphasizing the social implications of improved management strategies for this disease. This review underscores the significance of imaging modalities and individualized surgical treatment in the management of endometrial cancer. It calls for further research to address the controversies surrounding lymph node dissection and refine the selection criteria, ultimately improving patient outcomes and contributing to the advancement of knowledge in this field.
