SENTIVUC I: Optical Guided Sentinel Node Biopsy for Staging of Vulvar Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate whether Sentinel Node biopsy can be performed without the use of lymphoscintigraphy and with ICG as a mono-tracer in women with vulvar cancer, unifocal tumor < 4 cm (clinical stage IB and II). Further, to investigate the accuracy of combined PET-CT and ultrasound (US) of the groins with US-guided biopsy of suspicious lymph nodes for the identification of macro-metastases in women with vulvar cancer, unifocal tumor < 4 cm.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Sentinel Node detection rate [Three years]
SN detection rate with ICG and 99mTc-Nanocoll alone perioperatively, where lymphoscintigraphy is blinded, in patients with vulvar cancer (tumor < 4 cm) without clinical suspicion of metastases to the inguinal lymph nodes.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV [Three years]
Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of FDG PET-CT and US combined with US-guided biopsy of suspicious lymph nodes for the identification of macro-metastases in the groins
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Patients with primary vulva cancer, FIGO stage IB (tumor < 4 cm)
-
Patients with unifocal recurrence in the vulva (tumor < 4 cm) located on the side where the patient is surgically naïve in the groin
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Prior irradiation of the vulva or groins
-
Prior SNB or inguinal lymphadenectomy in the relevant groin
-
Known allergy to ICG or iodine (ICG contains 5% sodium iodine)
