Brief Summary:
The present study aims at investigating the feasibility, the detection rate and the negative predictive value of sentinel node in predicting the presence or absence of lymph node metastasis in ovarian cancer patients

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Sentinel Lymph Node Ovarian Cancer Stage I Procedure: Sentinel node detection Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

Patients with early stage ovarian cancer have a good prognosis. However, nearly 15% of the initially diagnosed as early stage ovarian cancers, will be upstaged after an appropriate surgical staging due to lymphatic metastasis, despite of preoperative radiological data. Therefore, complete pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy in these patients represents a crucial procedure. On the other hand, nodal dissection may be associated with threatening intra- and post-operative complications.

If feasible and accurate, the sentinel lymph node procedure could be a modality to avoid unnecessary radical lymphadenectomy without missing important information on nodal status.

With the present study we aim at exploring the role of sentinel node dissection in early ovarian cancer patients.

Patients with ovarian cancer macroscopically limited to the ovary (early ovarian cancer) will receive injection of a tracer (patent blue or indocyanine green) which have already been proven safe and extremely effective in several other gynecologic and non-gynecologic malignancies. Then the retroperitoneal spaces will be opened as for a standard lymphadenectomy procedure and the lymph node marked with the tracer will be identified. After dissection of the sentinel node, lymphadenectomy will be completed according to current guidelines.

Operative data, pathological findings and accuracy of sentinel node in predicting nodal status will be registered.

Arm Intervention/treatment
SENTINEL NODE
Patients with ovarian cancer will receive sentinel node identification and they will be then submitted to complete pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy (as per the present guidelines)
Procedure: Sentinel node detection
Patients will receive injection of tracer in the ovarian ligaments to identify the lymphatic drainage of the affected ovary and ultimately the sentinel node. Afterwards, systematic lymphadenectomy will be accomplished according to current guidelines.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of participants with procedure-related adverse events [ Time Frame: 6 months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Negative predictive value [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
    The negative predictive value of sentinel node in assessing nodal status
