A Single-Arm Prospective Trial of Fluorescein Mapping in Patients Undergoing Vulvectomy for Extramammary Paget's Disease
Summary
The researchers are doing this study to see if giving people fluorescein sodium as an IV infusion before their vulvectomy for treating extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) can help surgeons with performing the procedure. The researchers will look at whether fluorescein sodium helps surgeons identify disease cells that should be removed. Other purposes of this study include looking at the following: If there are any complications during or after vulvectomy involving the use of fluorescein sodium. If fluorescein sodium can reveal tissue that surgeons cannot operate on (unresectable tissue).
Arms & interventions
- DrugFluorescein Sodium
Patients will receive IV fluorescein sodium in the operating room before the vulvectomy procedure.
Outcome measures
Primary
rate of positive pathologic surgical margin status
is to determine whether the use of IV fluorescein sodium reduces the rate of positive surgical margins in patients undergoing vulvectomy for EMPD. The incidence of positive surgical margins on final pathology will be evaluated as the primary endpoint;
Time frame: 1 year
Secondary
incidence of intraoperative or postoperative complications
Time frame: up to 30 days post op
