SENTINEL LYMPH NODE MAPPING TO DIAGNOSE AND TREAT ENDOMETRIAL CANCER

Featuring: Edward Tanner, MD

Episode Summary

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in North America. When detected early, it has very good survival outcomes. But when the cancer spreads outside of the uterus and into the lymph nodes, this cancer can become more deadly and cause a higher rate of re-occurrence. Edward Tanner, MD, chief of gynecologic oncology at Northwestern Medicine and a member of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, discusses the use of sentinel lymph node (SNL) mapping to diagnose and treat endometrial cancer. 
Dr. Edward Tanner is an Associate Professor of Gynecologic Oncology at Northwestern University where he serves as Chief of the Gynecologic Oncology service. Dr. Tanner serves as the Director of Gynecologic Robotic Surgery at Prentice Women’s Hospital and is an internationally recognized leader in the field of gynecologic oncology surgery.
