A Novel Imaging Protocol in Use to Identify Lymph Nodes and Organs of Interest
Sponsor: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Summary
This research study is a pilot clinical trial, which hypothesizes that the combination of electromagnetic tracking in conjunction with laparoscope imaging and ultrasound probe imaging will aid in reducing the complexity of both laparoscopic lymphadenectomy and/or organ removal in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of cancer in urologic regions of interest (Bladder, Prostate, Testicular, Kidney, Urethral, and Penis), by resulting in better visualization and more accurate localization of certain areas in the diseased organ or the diseased lymph node, and allowing for improved surgical and patient outcomes, fewer complications and better clinician performance.
Official title: A Pilot Study of a Novel Imaging Protocol in Use to Identify Lymph Nodes and Organs of Interest for Surgical Dissection Within Urologic Regions of Interest.
