The in-vivo tumor to background ratio (TBR) of the primary tumor.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Neuroendocrine tumors of the small intestine (SI-NET) are rare tumors. Patients often do not present until distant metastases are already present in the abdomen. Curative surgery is no longer possible for these patients. The clinical problem is that it is often difficult to diagnose these distant metastases. For this reason, the guidelines state to operate with a laparotomy and then palpate and visualize the entire abdominal cavity. It is common for a patient to undergo a laparotomy, after which it becomes clear that distant metastases are present. It is decided not to continue the operation.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether a combination of intravenous methylene blue and fluorescence imaging can visualize neuroendocrine tumors. If this is possible, in the future it can be assessed with fluorescence by means of laparoscopy whether distant metastases are present in the abdomen. In this way, a group of patients can be sparred from an unnecessary laparotomy. Moreover occult metastases can be identified for resection when curation is possible.
Doel van het onderzoek
Visualization of small intestine neuroendocrine tumors with methylene blue and near-infrared fluorescence imaging is feasible.
Onderzoeksopzet
Patient participation ends immediately after surgery.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
Patients receive an intravenous injection of methylene blue (0.5 - 1.0 mg/kg) during surgery after which near-infrared fluorescence imaging will be performed.
