Brief Summary

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

Lymphatic mapping is a procedure in which all lymph nodes with drainage from the primary tumor, i.e. all nodes with potential (micro)metastases, can be imaged. These nodes are not necessarily suspicious on other imaging techniques.

The goal of this feasibility study is to

1. investigate the feasibility of the lymphatic mapping procedure in locally advanced cervical cancer
2. study the agreement of the lymphatic map with the radiotherapy treatment plan including previous imaging (MRI / CT / FDG-PET/CT)

Detailed Description

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

Study population:

Aged ≥18 years, with locally advanced cervical cancer, that will be planned for radiotherapy.

Intervention (if applicable): Lymphatic mapping will be performed on all study patients during the standard investigation under anaesthesia, to ensure painless injection of the radiopharmaceutical. Patients will receive 6-8 depots of \[99mTc\]Tc-nanocolloid peritumoral. Planar and SPECT/CT gamma camera images will be made at the department of Radiology and Nuclear medicine 3 hours and 12-24 hours after administration of the radiopharmaceutical. All radioactive lymph nodes will be included in the lymphatic map.

The radiation oncologist will determine the radiation therapy treatment plan blinded to the data of the lymphatic mapping. The lymphatic map will be compared to the radiation treatment plan and previous imaging (MRI / CT / FDG-PET/CT).

Main study parameters/endpoints:

1. Is it feasible to perform lymphatic mapping in locally advanced cervical cancer? Is there visualisation of (multiple) lymph nodes in both sides of the tumor?
2. Are all visible lymph nodes (nodes at risk) included in the standard radiotherapy treatment plan?

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

1. Peritumoral injection of \[99mTc\]Tc-nanocolloid in 6-8 evenly distributed depots on both sides of the tumor, during investigation under anaesthesia. Number of depots depending on the size and localisation of the tumor.
2. Planair and SPECT/CT imaging van de abdomen/pelvis 3h and 12-24h after injection at the department of radiology and nucleair medicine.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

Histologically proven locally advanced cervical cancer \[FIGO stage IIB-IVA\]. \>18 years old. Treatment with curative (chemo)radiation. Signed informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

Pregnancy. Administration of the radioactive tracer cannot be ensured properly due to obesity Patients with tumors in which no circumferential injection of \[99mTc\]Tc-nanocolloid is possible due to the size or position of the tumor.
