Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary outcome parameters are identification rate of SLN with<br /><br>ICG-nanocolloid, defined as the number of patients with one or more SLNs<br /><br>identified/total number of procedures, secondly the rate of adverse events<br /><br>related towards ICG-nanocolloid will be measured. This is defined as the number<br /><br>of adverse events related towards ICG-nanocolloid/total number of procedures.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Secondary outcome parameters include: False negative SLNs, true negative SLNs,<br /><br>sensitivity, specificity, upstaged patients, aberrant lymph node status,<br /><br>accuracy, negative predictive value and number of SLNs identified. </p><br>
