Clinical Trial 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.


Clinical Trial 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. ;
