Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Identification rate, defined as the proportion of patients in whom sentinel and non-sentinel lymph nodes was identified percutaneously with the fluorescent signal of ICG:HSA.
Secondary outcome
1. Median number of lymph nodes identified with ICG:HSA and standard SNB;
2. Identification rate of standard SNB;
3. Sensitivity: percentage of patients in whom fluorescent lymph nodes were identified of the total patients with identified sentinel lymph nodes by standard SNB technique;
4. Improvement in false-negative rate.
Background summary
Although sentinel lymph node procedure (SLNP) is regarded standard of care, the technique is not optimal and it requires involvement of ionizing radiation. Fluorescent imaging using near-infrared probes is an innovative technique to directly visualize lymphatic pathways and lymph nodes. Our experimental camera system has been validated in large animal models.
Study objective
Fluorescent near-infrared imaging can accurately detect lymph nodes percutaneously and non-invasively during SLNP in melanoma patients.
Study design
The primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed during surgery and pathological assessment.
Intervention
Standard SLNP will be performed. Before incision, the near-infrared dye ICG:HSA will be injected and lymphatic pathways and lymph nodes will be visualized non-invasively and percutaneously using our experimental camerasystem.

Melanoma patients planned to undergo a sentinel lymph node procedure.
Exclusion criteria
1. History of allergy to iodine, shellfish, indocyanine green or human serum albumin;
2. Pregnancy;
