简要总结
Approximately 20-30 % of colon cancer patients who have no metastasis in lymph nodes after definitive colectomy have recurrence with distant metastasis. These recurrences could be due to missed occult tumor cells or micrometastasis. Detailed examination of all lymph nodes is expensive and time consuming. Sentinel lymph node mapping using Indocyanine green dye helps in identifying the lymph nodes which are most likely to harbour metastasis. These sentinel lymph nodes can be subsequently subjected to detailed pathologic examination and immunohistochemistry which increases the likelihood of identifying micrometastasis and occult tumor cells. Patients found to harbour such metastasis can be treated with additional chemotherapy after surgery. The aim of the study is to examine the feasibility of sentinel lymph node mapping using Indocyanine green dye in colon cancer and evaluate the upstaging rate in post-operative colon cancer patients who don't have metastatic lymph nodes on routine histopathology.
详细描述
All patients of colon cancer fulfilling the inclusion criteria and excluding the patients according to the exclusion criteria will undergo standard laparoscopic/open colectomy.
Indocyanine green dye is injected around the tumor in subserosal location for open surgeries and submucosally after on-table colonoscopy for laparoscopic surgeries and followed with near-infrared scope. Patients will undergo intra-operative on-table colonoscopy after induction of anesthesia. All sentinel nodes will be marked with clips/sutures for identification by the pathologist post-operatively. Any aberrant lymph nodes identified outside the planned resection margins will be excised, marked with the position of excision and sent separately from the gross specimen. After this the surgeon will proceed with the surgery including vascular ligation and resection of mesocolon.
After surgery, all the lymph nodes identified in the specimen including the tagged sentinel lymph nodes will be examined using standard Hematoxylin and eosin staining. If all the lymph nodes are negative for metastasis, the sentinel lymph nodes will undergo additional stepwise sections and immunohistochemistry for pancytokeratin.

结局指标
主要结局
Detection rate
时间窗: 2 years
Proportion of the number of successful sentinel lymph node procedures out of all executed sentinel lymph node procedures.
Upstaging rate
时间窗: 2 years
Sentinel lymph nodes in patients are pathologically node negative on routine evaluation with undergo detailed evaluation using serial sections and immunohistochemistry to identify micrometastasis and occult tumor cells. The proportion of node negative patients who are upstaged will be calculated.
次要结局
- Accuracy(2 years)
- Negative predictive value(2 years)
