ICG-Enabled Mapping of Ovarian Sentinel Lymph Nodes: A Feasibility Study

February 1, 2024 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
The purpose of this study is to find out how well ovarian sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) can be identified with indocyanine green (ICG) dye during risk-reducing ovarian surgery.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients will be recruited from the Gynecology Service, Department of Surgery. All women undergoing surgery for an adnexal mass, with or without a hysterectomy, without clear preoperative suspicion for advanced stage ovarian disease will be screened for participation in this study. No selectivity will be exercised by the investigators as to minimize bias. The specific type of surgery, as well as its timing, will be determined by the treating gynecologic surgeon

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women undergoing surgery with the Gynecology Service at MSK.
  • Women undergoing surgery for an adnexal mass without pre-operative suspicion of high stage disease, with or without a hysterectomy

    °For this protocol, "suspected high stage disease" will be defined as any patient with radiologic or clinical evidence of ovarian cancer which has spread outside of the ovary. Thus, only patients with an adnexal mass, or bilateral adnexal masses, are eligible.

  • Women in whom MIS surgery is converted to a laparotomy will not be excluded as both surgical approaches, MIS and open, will be utilized.
  • Women >/= 18 years of age
  • Able to provide informed consent
  • Albumin levels within normal range

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Current non-GYN primary malignancy
  • Prior or current history of uterine, cervical, peritoneal, or vulvovaginal malignancy
  • Ongoing anticancer therapy
  • Prior bilateral oophorectomy
  • Known severe anaphylactic iodide allergy
  • Known history of cirrhosis or other chronic liver disease, or women with hepatic dysfunction.
  • Elevated transaminases (ALT, AST) and/or Alk Phos will be evaluated by the treating physician on a case by case basis.

  • Ventral side of the utero-ovarian ligament
Other Names:
  • ICG dye
Group 3

Other Names:
  • ICG dye
Injection of 2mL of ICG dye into the IP ligament pedicle before the adnexal mass is removed.
Group 4
Fourth group of 10 participants enrolled
Injection of 2mL of ICG dye into the IP ligament pedicle after the adnexal mass has been removed. Only to the side where the adnexal mass is located
Other Names:
  • ICG dye
