Abstract
Background and objectives: This study aims to evaluate the predictive factors associated with failed sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in a large, retrospective cohort of patients with early-stage endometrial cancer (EC).
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated a series of EC patients who underwent laparoscopic SLN mapping with intracervical indocyanine green (ICG) injection in five referred oncological centers from January 2019 to March 2024. We compared the clinical and pathological features of bilateral and failed SLN mapping, which was defined as either unilateral mapping or no SLN mapping. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of failure.
Results: Among 623 analyzed patients, 437 (70.14%) had a successful bilateral procedure. On univariate analysis, age (p = 0.03), non-endometrioid histology (p = 0.02) and previous vaginal delivery (p = 0.015) were significant associated with failed SLN mapping. On multivariable analysis, only increasing age (OR 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.04, p = 0.03) and non-endometrioid histology (OR 1.81; 95% CI, 1.01-3.19) were independently associated with unsuccessful procedure. No significant differences were observed for BMI, enlarged lymph nodes, intraoperative lysis of adhesion, LVSI, grade 3, and FIGO stage.
Conclusions: Increasing age and non-endometrioid histology are independent predictors of bilateral SLN mapping failure in EC patients undergoing SLN mapping with cervical ICG injection.

The Journal of Surgical Oncology offers peer-reviewed, original papers in the field of surgical oncology and broadly related surgical sciences, including reports on experimental and laboratory studies. As an international journal, the editors encourage participation from leading surgeons around the world. The JSO is the representative journal for the World Federation of Surgical Oncology Societies. Publishing 16 issues in 2 volumes each year, the journal accepts Research Articles, in-depth Reviews of timely interest, Letters to the Editor, and invited Editorials. Guest Editors from the JSO Editorial Board oversee multiple special Seminars issues each year. These Seminars include multifaceted Reviews on a particular topic or current issue in surgical oncology, which are invited from experts in the field.
