Lymphoseek + Nanocoll
Comparison of the concordance of albumin nanocolloid and Lymphoseek® in the detection of lymph nodes of primary and secondary stage drainage by performing two lymphogammagrams
|
Drug: Lymphoseek
50 μg microgram(s), timepoint: 30-60 minutes Drug: Nanocoll 500 μg microgram(s), timepoint: 30-60 minutes |
- Nodal Concordance: proportion of lymph nodes identified by 99mTc-tilmanocept vs nanocolloidal human serum albumin by lymphoscintigraphies [ Time Frame: for at least 48 consecutive hours ]number and diameter in millimeters of nodes affected identified by 99mTc-tilmanocept vs nanocolloidal
- Time frame to ascertain the sentinel nodes [ Time Frame: 1 week ]
- Concordance among early and delayed images obtained withLymphoseek® or with albumianocolloid and the SPECT/CT images. [ Time Frame: 1 week ]
- Number of sentinel nodes and secondary nodes depicted [ Time Frame: 1 week ]
- Tracer retention in injection site [ Time Frame: 1 week ]
- Safety and tolerability of 99mTctilmanocept (Lymphoseek®) [ Time Frame: 1 week ]Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by Lymphoseek® or with albuminanocolloid
