Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The role of small-volume lymph node disease (ITC and micro metastases) among patients with endometrial or cervical cancer submitted to sentinel node (SLN) procedure is not clearly defined.

This study was designed to create a dataset of patients with lymph nodal disease. Data on type and volume of lymph nodal disease, therapeutic choices and oncological outcomes (DFS, OS, recurrence rate) will be collected and analyzed.

This will allow to define the groups of patients who may need or for whom it can be avoided any adjuvant treatment on the basis of lymph node status.
