4. Concurrent anticancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, vaccines, immunotherapy) delivered within the last three months prior to the start of the treatment
5. The subject has been included previously in this study or has been injected with another investigational medicinal product within the past six months
6. History of myocardial infarction (MI), TIA, CVA, pulmonary embolism, uncontrolled congestive heart failure (CHF), significant liver disease, unstable angina within 6 months prior to enrollment
7. Any significant change in their regular prescription or non-prescription medication between 14 days and 1 day prior to IMP administration.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- Fluorescent signal levels defined as Tumor-to-Background Ratio (TBR) derived<br /><br>from PTC nodal metastasis and normal tissue. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- Number of (severe) adverse events (SAE/AEs).<br /><br>- Correlation of the ex-vivo fluorescent signal in PTC, nodal metastasis and<br /><br>normal tissue with other biological and molecular parameters (IHC).<br /><br>- Macroscopic and real-time quantification of the fluorescent signal of<br /><br>pathological confirmed PTC, nodal metastasis and normal tissue observed by<br /><br>means of the MDSFR/SFF spectroscopy probe (M/m3).<br /><br>- Distribution of EMI-137 in PTC, lymph nodes and normal tissue as identified<br /><br>by SDS-PAGE and/or ELISA and/or fluorescence microscopy.<br /><br>- Comparison between the amount of nodal metastasis found with preoperative<br /><br>imaging and the amount of nodal metastasis identified based on fluorescence<br /><br>signals.</p><br>
