Official Title: Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping and Detection With Indocyanine Green and Spy-Phi Handheld Camera Technology in Early-Stage Vulvar Cancer (PILOT)
Brief Summary:
Doctors typically use blue dye to assist in locating and extracting lymph nodes for biopsy.However, this process can prove somewhat challenging for both patients and medical teams due to its need for extensive coordination and the assistance of a nuclear medicine team.Some studies have talked about using a different method to find these lymph nodes using a special dye called Indocyanine Green (ICG).This method involves shining a special camera on the skin.So far, no studies have directly compared the ICG method to…
