Brief Title: Sentinel Lymph Node Assessment in Ovarian Cancer (TRSGO-SLN-OO5)
Official Title: Sentinel Lymph Node Assessment In Ovarian Cancer - Turkish Gynecologic Oncology Group Study (TRSGO-SLN-005)
Study ID: NCT04714931
Brief Summary: The aim of the study to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of sentinel lymph node technique in ovarian cancer.
Detailed Description: Systematic pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy is commonly performed in ovarian cancer patients. However, in early ovarian cancer systematic lymphadenectomy can be an unnecessary procedure which can cause perioperative morbidity and mortality. In the other hand, initially diagnosed early stage ovarian cancer can be upstaged after staging surgery with systematic lymphadenectomy. For preventing unnecessary lymphadenectomy in early ovarian cancer, sentinel lymph node procedure may be an alternative which can prevent major complications without missing the real stage of the disease. Aim of our study is to assess the feasibility and accuracy of lymph node evaluation with sentinel lymph node technique in early ovarian cancer patients. Pelvic and paraaortic spaces will be evaluated for the sentinel lymph nodes after the injection of the tracers in infundibulopelvic and utero-ovarian ligaments. Than routine systematic pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy will be performed with the routine practice.
