Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: * Injection of 99mTc-labeled nanocolloids * Preoperative lymphoscintigraphy * Intraoperative gamma probe search of the sentinel lymph node * Sentinel lymph node biopsy * Excisional biopsy of the neoformation in cases not undergoing excision before SLN biopsy. * If the SLN is histologically positive, the multidisciplinary team will consider whether to refer the patient for parotidectomy and excision of the lymph node chain and/or adjuvant radio/chemotherapy.

Study summary

The study involves enrollment of patients with sebaceous carcinoma, Merkel's carcinoma, Porocarcinoma, Melanoma, and squamous cell Ca of the ocular surface and adnexa both primary and relapsed after surgical and/or radiation-chemotherapy treatment at the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli, IRCCS. The study will last 9 years: 1 year will be devoted to the first phase of the study. Patient enrollment will continue for an additional 3 years, and 5 years will be devoted overall to patient follow-up so that survival outcomes at 1-3 and 5 years can be assessed in a congruent number of patients. A preliminary analysis of the data at 1 year (pilot phase), an analysis at 4 years to confirm the preliminary study data on a larger sample, and a final analysis to evaluate OS and PFS at the 3 time-points indicated are planned.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Efficacy of lymphoscintigraphic examination and SLN biopsy — 9 years
    Positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV), in percentage, in order to determine the likelihood of lymphoscintigraphic examination and SLN biopsy in diagnosing Ocular Surface and Adnexal Cancers.
  • Efficacy of lymphoscintigraphic examination and SLN biopsy — 9 years
    Sensitivity and sensibility, in percentage, in order to determine the likelihood of lymphoscintigraphic examination and SLN biopsy in diagnosing Ocular Surface and Adnexal Cancers.
