Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Diagnosis

Permanence of fluorescence at the level of axillary lymph nodes at 2-3 weeks after subcutaneous injection of Indocyanine Green (2.5 mg), in patients who will undergo radical axillary surgery [Time Frame: up to 3 weeks]

Secondary objectives 4

  1. Identification of the total number of fluorescent lymph nodes
  2. Differences in the qualitative assessment (intensity) of fluorescence between the removed lymph nodes: lymph nodes will be divided into group A "intense fluorescence" and group B "mild fluorescence"
  3. Association between histological positivity for metastases in sentinel and non-sentinel lymph nodes
  4. Association between the patient's demographic/clinical variables and the presence or absence of fluorescent lymph nodes
