Brief Title: A Prospective Single-center Cohort Study "Preoperative Identification of Sentinel Lymph Nodes Using Contrast-enhanced CT Lymphography in Breast Cancer Patients"
Official Title: A Prospective Single-center Cohort Study "Preoperative Identification of Sentinel Lymph Nodes Using Contrast-enhanced CT Lymphography in Breast Cancer Patients"
Study ID: NCT04930692
Brief Summary: The main hypothesis of this study is that contrast-enhanced CT lymphography can be used for preoperative visualization of sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer patients. We assume that CT lymphography is a high-sensitivity and high-specificity method for sentinel lymph nodes' mapping in breast cancer patients. We also assume that positive predictive value and negative predictive value for identification of presence or absence of metastases in sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) will be high enough for preoperative diagnosis of SLN metastases in breast cancer patients. This study will use CT lymphography with periareolar injection of iopamidol and standard protocols of sentinel lymph nodes biopsy using intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence.
