PET/CT and Endometrial cancer

- Generally good prognosis

- Advanced stage and relapse: poor outcome

- Less than 20% of pts have positive lymph nodes at initial diagnosis  imaging for pts selection (sparing lymphadenecomy)

- Mainly surgical treatment

Role of PET/CT: - to detect positive nodes avoiding unneccessary LDN - Detecion of recurrent disease

Limited role of Radiotherapy in endometrial cancer
