Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Signal-to-background ratio of identified SLNs, defined as the fluorescence intensity of SLN divided by the fluorescence intensity of the surrounding background.
Secondary outcome
1. Number of identified SLNs: fluorescence and non-fluorescence;
2. In vivo and ex vivo fluorescence intensity of SLNs;
3. Identification ratio;
4. Percutaneous lymphatic channel identification;
5. Time to identification of SLN.
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.
In this study, randomisation will be performed between ICG:HSA and ICG alone.
Study objective
ICG alone without being absorbed to albumin can be used for near-infrared fluorescence SLNB in vulvar cancer 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 of ICG alone will be injected and lymphatic pathways and lymph nodes will be visualized non-invasively and percutaneously using our experimental camerasystem.

Inclusion criteria
Vulvar cancer 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;
3. Presence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial.
