Selected Publications on SLN Mapping in Cervix and Endometrial Cancer

References	No. Patients	Disease Site/Dye Type	Findings
How et al72	100	Endometrial patent blue dye+ radiotracer	≥1 SLN detected in 92% of cases Bilateral mapping rate—72% 11% had LN metastases Sensitivity of SLN algorithm 89% (1 false negative)
Sinno et al73	71	Endometrial ICG vs. ISB	ICG bilateral mapping rate—78.9% ISB bilateral mapping rate—42.4% 7% had LN metastases All metastases were detected using SLN algorithm ICG may be superior to ISB for SLN ISB may be less effective in obese patients
Beavis et al74	30	Cervix ICG	≥1 SLN detected in 100% of cases Bilateral mapping rate—87% 16.7% had LN metastases All metastases were detected using SLN algorithm

ICG indicates indocyanine green; ISB, isosulfan blue; LN, lymph node; SLN, sentinel lymph node.
