Brief Title: Sentinel lympH Node Biopsy With Indocyanine Green in Breast Cancer After NEoadjuvant Chemotherapy (SHINE)
Official Title: Sentinel lympH Node Biopsy With Indocyanine Green in Breast Cancer After NEoadjuvant Chemotherapy (SHINE): A Prospective Clinical Trial
Study ID: NCT06085274
Brief Summary: This is a prospective, open-label, within-patient clinical trial to determine the accuracy of Indocyanine green (ICG) guided sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) compared to the standard dual-tracer SLNB in breast cancer patients who have had chemotherapy as a first treatment using a non-inferiority design. Patients with operable breast cancer treated with chemotherapy and eligible for SLNB will be included in the study. During surgery, ICG will be injected and used to identify fluorescent sentinel nodes using a hand-held imaging camera; radiotracer and blue dye will also be used as per standard protocols. Intraoperative and clinicopathologic outcomes such as complications, characteristics of nodes, false negative rates and feasibility will be assessed. Patients will be asked to complete standardized patient reported outcome questionnaires (Breast-Q, FACT-B+4, VAS) to define the patient experience with this novel technique.
