FEASIBILITY AND SAFETY OF INDOCYANINE GREEN (ICG) GUIDED SENTINEL LYMPH NODE MAPPING FOR PEDIATRIC SOLID TUMORS - T-LyM (Tumor-Lymph Node Mapping)
University of Rochester
Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of ICG-guided intraoperative lymphography for detecting sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) in pediatric patients with solid tumors who require retroperitoneal lymph node dissection/sampling. This trial is a single-site cross-sectional study. The injection of ICG directly into lymphatics draining the primary tumor will take place at the time of operation after the patient is under anesthesia.
