Clinical Trial 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

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Sentinel Node detection rate	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.	Three years
Secondary	Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV	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	Three years
