Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is a single-center pilot study of open-label, non-randomized interventional research based on the outpatient management of 30 patients with T1-N0 or T2-N0 cancer in the oral cavity or oropharynx.
Detailed Description
Currently, patients with oral cancer or oropharynx T1-N0 or T2-N0 are treated by surgery on the tumor and the neck, both validated techniques are either with a systematic lymph node dissection or a search for lymph sentinel node (GS). The goal on the lymph sentinel nodes is to diagnose the presence of metastasis (s). With the GS technique, the length of hospital stay can be shorter. The limited invasiveness of tumor surgery of the oral cavity and oropharynx and GS and short postoperative monitoring is compatible with outpatient management, so it should be evaluated through a study clinical.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the rate of conversion to complete hospitalization or re-hospitalization within 10 days of surgery J0. The secondary objectives are the evaluation of the acceptance rate of outpatient surgery by the eligible patient, complications related to outpatient management, the quality of life of the patient and the cost of the strategy over the first month following J0.
The surgical procedure associated with the sentinel lymph node technique is carried out in two stages:
- Lymphoscintigraphy at Day-1 : This is the identification of the lymphatic network of the patient by a prior injection of radioactive tracer, nanocolloids labeled with technetium99, around the primary tumor. A planar or 3-minute CT image acquisition is performed 30 to 60 minutes after injection in anteroposterior and lateral view to identify the sentinel lymph nodes (GS(s)) which are then marked on the skin with an indelible marker. This routine care examination is done in an external act.
- Surgery on D0: The patient is admitted to the hospital at 7:00 am in outpatient unit. He is reviewed by the anesthetist before the intervention and is transferred to the operating room for the intervention under General anesthesia.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Conversion rate in complete hospitalization or re-hospitalization within 10 days following the surgical procedure (D0)
Time Frame: From Day 0 to 10 days post surgery
the conversion into complete hospitalization on the day of the procedure (Day 0) or re-hospitalization within 10 days following the surgical procedure (Day 0) respectively will be performed in case of medical or surgical complications or according to the doctor's opinion for the release of the patient, or in case of lymph nodes dissection
Secondary Outcomes
- Description of complications attributable to outpatient care taken on Day 0, Day 10 and Month1(From Day 0 to Month 1 post surgery)
- Quality of life at inclusion visit(Inclusion visit)
- Quality of life at Day 10 post surgery(Day 10 visit post surgery)
- Evaluation of the cost of the strategy at Month 1(Month 1)
- Acceptance rate of outpatient surgery(inclusion visit)
- Quality of life at month 1 post surgery(Month 1 visit post surgery)
- Quality of life at Day 0 visit(Day 0 visit)
