Would you include a lymphocele in your IMRT treatment volumes for endometrial carcinoma?
If the post-operative simulation films reveal a significant lymphocele secondary to pelvic lymph node sampling, is it imperative that the entire lymphocele be included in the treatment volumes?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution
We only include the lymphocele is there is a positive node in the area of the lymphocele. If the nodes are not positive in the area of the lymphocele - we do not include the entire lymphocele.
