Group/Cohort | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Group 1
First group of 10 participants enrolled
|
Drug: Method 1: Indocyanine green dye
Injection 4 mL of ICG dye directly into the fallopian tube (1 or more places is acceptable) only to the side where the adnexal mass is located
Other Name: ICG dye |
Group 2
Second group of 10 participants enrolled
|
Drug: Method 2: Indocyanine green dye
1mL of ICG injected at each of the four sites: only to the side where the adnexal mass is located
Other Name: ICG dye |
Group 3
Third group of 10 participants enrolled
|
Drug: Method 3: Indocyanine green dye
Injection of 2mL of ICG dye into the IP ligament pedicle after the adnexal mass has been removed. Only to the side where the adnexal mass is located
Other Name: ICG dye |
Group 4
Fourth group of 10 participants enrolled
|
Drug: Method 3: Indocyanine green dye
Injection of 2mL of ICG dye into the IP ligament pedicle before the adnexal mass is removed. |
- Number and location of ovarian sentinel lymph nodes visually identified after injection of ICG dye via one of three tested methods. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Evaluate for dye uptake in the regional lymphatic channels, and in the pelvic and para-aortic nodes using infrared imaging.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Female |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Women undergoing surgery with the Gynecology Service at MSK.
-
Women undergoing surgery for an adnexal mass without pre-operative suspicion of high stage disease, with or without a hysterectomy
°For this protocol, "suspected high stage disease" will be defined as any patient with radiologic or clinical evidence of ovarian cancer which has spread outside of the ovary. Thus, only patients with an adnexal mass, or bilateral adnexal masses, are eligible.
- Women in whom MIS surgery is converted to a laparotomy will not be excluded as both surgical approaches, MIS and open, will be utilized.
- Women >/= 18 years of age
- Able to provide informed consent
- Albumin levels within normal range
Exclusion Criteria:
- Current non-GYN primary malignancy
- Prior or current history of uterine, cervical, peritoneal, or vulvovaginal malignancy
- Ongoing anticancer therapy
- Prior bilateral oophorectomy
- Known severe anaphylactic iodide allergy
- Known history of cirrhosis or other chronic liver disease, or women with hepatic dysfunction.
- Elevated transaminases (ALT, AST) and/or Alk Phos will be evaluated by the treating physician on a case by case basis.
