Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study has been designed to validate a non-radioactive method to identify the sentinel lymph node using a superparamagnetic iron-oxide (SPIO) tracer respect to the traditional isotopic method. Both methods are used in every included patient and each patient is its own control.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

* Injection of the isotopic tracer in standard form and in the usual preoperative period (hours-day).
* Identical injection in three-four punctures of 2 mL of Sienna+ ® and local massage of 5-10 minutes.
* Optional: colorant injection in standard form. Local massage of 5-10 minutes.
* After 20 minutes: transcutaneous measurement with SentiMag®
* Valuing territories (lymphoscintigraphy information?)
* Surgical identification measures:

1. st with SentiMag®
2. nd with gamma detection probe
* Ex vivo check and HRD record

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Adult patients (\>18 years of age),
* with diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma and
* in which SLNB is indicated as a staging method, and
* with cN0 result after clinical-echographic-cytohistological evaluation.

Exclusion Criteria

* Previous treatment with systemic therapy.
* Recent previous surgery (\<3 months) in the area susceptible of lymphatic drainage from the melanoma.
* Intolerance or hypersensitivity to iron or dextran compounds.
* Impossibility of use of radioisotope.
* Existence of pathology related to elevation of organic iron (hemosiderosis, hemochromatosis, iron deficiency anemia of metabolic or circulatory origin).
* Implantation of pacemakers or partially or totally metallic thoracic implants.
* Treatment with iron chelators (deferasirox, deferoxamine, ...).
