Description/
Intervention:
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if a procedure called
intraoperative (during surgery) lymphatic mapping can be used to find the
sentinel lymph node in patients with endometrial cancer.
.
Study Objectives / Outcomes
Primary: To examine the feasibility and sentinel node identification rate of intraoperative hysteroscopic injection of patent blue dye and radiocolloid for the detection of sentinel lymph nodes in patients with endometrial cancer.

Secondary:
1. To map the location(s) of sentinel node(s) draining primary endometrial cancer lesions.
2. To determine negative predictive value and false-negative rate for intraoperative hysteroscopic injection of patent blue dye and radiocolloid for the detection of sentinel lymph nodes in patients with endometrial cancer.

Enrollment Eligibility
If you do not meet the enrollment eligibility, there may be other treatment options for you. Please Contact the Referral Office for more information.

Inclusion Criteria:1) Patients with biopsy confirmed endometrial cancer who have been dispositioned to undergo total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingooophorectomy and lymph node staging.

2) Surgical procedures may be performed by either laparotomy or laparoscopy.

3) If computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, lymphangiography, or ultrasound has been performed for preoperative assessment, there must be no evidence of metastases. Imaging is not mandatory.

4) Patients who have signed an approved informed consent and authorization permitting release of personal health information.

Exclusion Criteria:1) Patients with a preoperative diagnosis of grade I endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterus.

2) Patients with uterine papillary serous carcinoma.

3) Patients who have undergone endometrial ablation or a myomectomy within 1 year of the surgery for endometrial cancer.

4) Patients with known allergies to triphenylmethane compounds or techniciun-99 radiocolloid.

5) Patients with a history of retroperitoneal surgery.

6) Patients with a history of pelvic radiation.

7) Patients with no lesion visible on hysteroscopy.

8) Patients with previous exposure to the tracer (to prevent risk of allergic reaction).
