Exploring new imaging technology for cervical cancer surgery
Official title: Exploratory Study on Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging Technology Combined with Indocyanine Green Guided Cervical Cancer Lymph Node Metastasis
Run by Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University · NCT06840418 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new imaging technology to help doctors find cancer spread in lymph nodes during cervical cancer surgery to see if it can improve surgery results for patients.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients aged 18 to 75 with primary cervical cancer stages I to III who are undergoing radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of other malignant tumors within the last 5 years or those who are pregnant may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This exploratory study investigates the use of near-infrared fluorescence imaging technology combined with indocyanine green (ICG) to enhance the detection of lymph node metastasis during cervical cancer surgeries. The study aims to establish an artificial intelligence model to predict lymph node metastasis and improve surgical outcomes by refining surgical procedures. Patients undergoing radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection will be included, and their postoperative pathology results will serve as the gold standard for evaluating the effectiveness of the imaging technique. Additionally, the quality of life of participants will be monitored post-surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more accurate surgical procedures and improved outcomes for patients with cervical cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of ICG in surgical oncology has been explored, the combination with AI for predicting lymph node metastasis in cervical cancer is a novel approach.
