Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* Evaluation in the ocular oncology outpatient clinic with examination and anterior segment photography
* Staging according to TNM AJCC 8th edition by incisional biopsy (if necessary after clinical evaluation) and/or excisional biopsy and imaging to be performed in current clinical practice (MRI with mdc orbits, massif and neck + Tc/Pet total body)
* Injection of 99mTc-labeled nanocolloids
* Preoperative lymphoscintigraphy
* Intraoperative search by gamma probe of the sentinel lymph node
* Sentinel lymph node biopsy
* Excisional biopsy of the neoformation in cases not undergoing excision before SLN biopsy.
* In case of SLN histologic positivity, the multidisciplinary team will consider whether to refer the patient for parotidectomy and excision of the lymph node chain and/or adjuvant radio/chemotherapy.
* Clinical-instrumental follow-up to be performed in current clinical practice (Clinical examination, cranial orbit and neck MRI, total body CT scan) at 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 months or according to periodicity assessed on a case-by-case basis by the Tumor Board.
