Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The proportion of patients with a positive sentinel lymph node ( at least one macro- or micrometastasis) with a change in adjuvant therapy. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To evaluate the incidence of ITC, micro- and macrometastases 2. To assess the detection rate of the SLN biopsy in one and two pelvic hemisphere 3. To investigate if SLN biopsy in women with low- and intermediate-risk endometrial cancer will lead to better disease free and overall survival 4. To assess if the presence of only ITC leads to more recurrences of disease 5. To investigate the risks and complications of the SLN biopsy. | — |
