Prospects of morphological ultra-staging in gynecological oncology
https://doi.org/10.33667/2078-5631-2025-11-65-67
Abstract
The condition of the lymph nodes is a mandatory prognostic sign and criterion for adjuvant therapy for malignant neoplasms (MN). While micrometastases have been found to correlate with prognosis in a number of cancers using ultrastaging techniques and are part of the standard treatment for patients with hematologic malignancies, controversy remains in the case of cervical cancer and endometrium cancer. The purpose of this review is the novelty of sentinel lymph node (SLN) ultrastaging in guiding treatment decisions and reducing the risk of regional recurrence.
