Minimally-invasive ICG-guided Retroperitoneal Sentinel Lymph Node Dissection in the Primary Staging of Testicular Cancer Versus Standard of Care (RAISN 2)
RAISN 2: Prospective Randomized Trial of Minimally-invasive ICG-guided Retroperitoneal Sentinel Lymph Node Dissection in the Primary Staging of Testicular Cancer Versus Standard of Care
Testicular cancer is highly curable, but approximately 20-30% of patients with clinical stage I disease harbor occult retroperitoneal lymph node metastases that are not detected by conventional imaging. Current risk-adapted management may lead to overtreatment in some patients while failing to identify others who are at increased risk of relapse.
The RAISN 2 study evaluates whether minimally invasive indocyanine green (ICG)-guided retroperitoneal sentinel lymph node dissection can improve primary staging and risk stratification in patients with clinical stage I testicular cancer. Participants will be randomized in a 5:1 ratio to undergo either orchiectomy combined with ICG-guided sentinel lymph node dissection or standard orchiectomy followed by guideline-based surveillance.
All participants will undergo structured follow-up according to current clinical guidelines. The primary objective is to estimate the 2-year relapse-free survival of patients undergoing the sentinel lymph node approach. Secondary objectives include assessment of overall survival, relapse patterns, perioperative morbidity, quality of life, psychological outcomes, and the feasibility and safety of the procedure.
This multicenter study aims to determine whether sentinel lymph node-guided staging provides more accurate risk stratification while avoiding unnecessary treatment and maintaining oncological safety.

Részletes leírás
Testicular germ cell tumors are the most common solid malignancy in young adult men and are associated with excellent long-term survival when managed appropriately. In patients with clinical stage I disease, approximately 20-30% harbor occult retroperitoneal lymph node metastases despite the absence of radiologically detectable disease. Current management strategies rely on histopathological risk factors to guide surveillance or adjuvant treatment; however, these factors have limited predictive accuracy and may result in both overtreatment and undertreatment.
Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping has been successfully established in several solid malignancies as a minimally invasive method for detecting occult lymphatic metastases. The RAISN feasibility study demonstrated that minimally invasive indocyanine green (ICG)-guided retroperitoneal sentinel lymph node dissection is technically feasible in patients with clinical stage I testicular cancer, achieving a 100% sentinel lymph node detection rate without increasing perioperative morbidity. These findings provide the basis for prospective validation in a larger patient population.
RAISN 2 is a prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical trial designed to evaluate whether ICG-guided retroperitoneal sentinel lymph node dissection improves primary staging and risk stratification in patients with clinical stage I testicular cancer. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 5:1 ratio to receive either minimally invasive ICG-guided sentinel lymph node dissection combined with inguinal orchiectomy (intervention arm) or inguinal orchiectomy followed by guideline-based surveillance (control arm). The unequal allocation was chosen to maximize the prospective evaluation of the novel staging procedure while maintaining a concurrent reference group.
In the intervention arm, indocyanine green is injected into the affected testis immediately before minimally invasive retroperitoneal exploration. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging is used to identify and remove sentinel lymph nodes for histopathological evaluation. After surgery, patients in both study arms undergo guideline-based surveillance without routine adjuvant treatment. In the event of disease recurrence, salvage therapy is administered according to current national and international guidelines.
The primary objective of the study is to estimate the 2-year relapse-free survival of patients undergoing the sentinel lymph node strategy. Secondary objectives include evaluation of overall survival, relapse patterns, time to relapse, perioperative morbidity, postoperative complications, quality of life, psychological outcomes, technical feasibility, and safety of the procedure. In addition, translational analyses using prospectively collected blood and tissue samples will explore clinicopathological and molecular factors associated with oncological outcomes.
The results of this study are expected to determine whether minimally invasive ICG-guided sentinel lymph node dissection can provide more accurate nodal staging, reduce unnecessary treatment, and maintain oncological safety in patients with clinical stage I testicular cancer.

Quality of life assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-TC26 questionnaires.
The EORTC QLQ-C30 is the core, 30-item questionnaire developed by the EORTC Quality of Life Group to evaluate the global health status and general quality of life of cancer patients.
It is used alongside disease-specific modules, such as the EORTC QLQ-TC26, which is specifically designed for testicular cancer patients.
The combination of these questionnaires ensures that clinicians and researchers capture both the general impacts of a cancer diagnosis and the specific issues pertinent to testicular cancer survivors.
