Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Determine sensitivity of ICG in sentinel lymph node identification if combined with blue dye and radiocolloid;Secondary Objective: in how many cases ICG could replace radiocolloid;Primary end point(s): Sensitivity of ICG fluorescence, defined as the number of sentinel nodes detected by conventional methods (blue dye, radio-isotope or combination) that are also fluorescent with ICG. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Patients will have a wound inspection, and recording of any adverse events, at their first routine post-operative visit two weeks after surgery. There will be no additional visits required as part of this study after this visit | — |
