Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The patient wil receive intra- or peritumoral injections of 99mTc-nanocolloid if malignancy is found during a navigation bronchoscopy. A SPECT/CT-scan will be made to image injections sites and sentinel lymph nodes (SLN). If surgery takes place to treat the lung cancer, ICG will be injected and fluorescent lymph nodes will be extensively assessed by a pathologist.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
N/A

Detailed Description

When malignancy is found during navigation bronchoscopy, study participants will receive intra- or peritumoral injections of 99mTc-nanocolloid. Following, up to 2 SPECT/CT-scans will be made to assess drainage of the injected tracer to the lymph nodes.

If patients undergo resection of the lung lesion, ICG will be injected. The involved lung tissue will be removed, followed by routine complete lymph node dissection. The fluorescent lymph nodes will be more extensively evaluated by the pathologist.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Intervention

One interventional arm that will undergo all interventional procedures (when applicable).

Radiation: 99mTc-nanocolloid
Injection of 99mTc-nanocolloid when lung cancer is diagnosed during a navigation bronchoscopy, followed by one or two SPECT/CT-scans.
Other Names:
  • Elective navigation bronchoscopy
  • SLN procedure
  • Drug: ICG
    If patient undergoes surgery to treat the lung cancer, ICG will be injected and retrieved fluorescent lymph nodes will undergo additional pathological assessment.
    Other Names:
  • Elective lung surgery
  • SLN procedure
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Feasibility of SLN procedure [During the study intervention]

      This is a qualitative outcome measurement that will be assessed by the involved physicians based on the ability to inject 99mTc-nanocolloid and ICG, and the ability to detect the tumor draining lymph nodes based on their drainage patterns.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Successfulness of injection method (intra- or peritumoral) [During the first intervention]

    2. Number of SLN found by SPECT/CT-imaging [On the day of the first intervention]

    3. Number of SLN found by ICG [On the day of the second intervention]

    4. Number of metastasis found by additional pathology [Up to two weeks after the second intervention]
