Abstract
In the march issue of Lancet Oncology , Rossi et al . published the results of a prospective multicenter validation trail on robotic indocyanine green (ICG) sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in endometrial cancer (EC): the FIRES trial (1). In this trial, at 18 institutions, 340 patients with EC underwent a robotic ICG SLN mapping followed by a systematic pelvic lymph node dissection in every case and by a para-aortic lymph node dissection in 58% of the cases. The median number of SLNs and of total nodes removed was 2 and 19 respectively. We believe that this is a landmark trial that may lead to changes in the management recommendations for EC. The prospective multicentre design and the strong validation data derived from its large cohort of patients and the thoroughness of the lymphadenectomy represent its major strengths.
