International Prospective Multicentre Study That Evaluate the Sentinel Lymph Node Detection Rate in Patients With First Local Recurrent Scamous Cell Carcinoma of the Vulva.
Sponsor: Hospital Universitario La Paz
Summary
Acronym: VULCA-NODE Study Title: Sentinel Node Biopsy in Relapsed Vulvar Cancer Primary Objetive: To evaluate the SLN detection rate in the first recurrent vulvar carcinoma setting. Secondary Objetives: * To compare the utility of different tracers in the detection of SLN for recurrent disease and the injection pattern. * To evaluate the surgical complications rate. * To analyze the nodal status by ultrastaging . * To assess the disease free and overall survival at 24 months from the first recurrence, as well as the dissemination pattern after the procedure. Study Design: International prospective multicentre study Inclusion Criteria: * First local recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva (SCC). * Unifocal, smaller or equal than 4 cm vulvar tumor not involving urethra, vagina or anus. * No distant or groin metastasis. * To be able to understand the study and sign informed consent. * Over 18 years old. * To be able to undergo planned follow up. Exclusion Criteria: * Multifocal recurrent disease of the vulva. * Previous bilateral IFL. * Synchronous, non-curable second malignancy. Timing: 4 years
