SLN Mapping and ICG Dye for Vulvar Cancer

Summary

Doctors typically use blue dye to assist in locating and extracting lymph nodes for biopsy. However, this process can prove somewhat challenging for both patients and medical teams due to its need for extensive coordination and the assistance of a nuclear medicine team. Some studies have talked about using a different method to find these lymph nodes using a special dye called Indocyanine Green (ICG). This method involves shining a special camera on the skin. So far, no studies have directly compared the ICG method to the standard blue dye. The ICG camera could make things easier for patients and doctors, and more patients might choose to have their lymph nodes checked with this new method. The goal of our study is to see if using the ICG dye is just as good as the standard method of blue dye.
