Efficacy of a Novel, High-Sensitivity, Portable, Hand-Held Gamma Camera Used Intraoperatively for Identification of Sentinel Lymph Nodes With Lymphoscintigraphy


Inclusion Criteria:

3.1.1 Melanoma of the head and neck for which lymphoscintigraphy and
sentinel lymph node biopsy are recommended as a standard of care

3.1.2 Prior therapy has no impact on eligibility as long as sentinel lymph node biopsy is
indicated

3.1.4 Adults age 18 or greater.

3.1.5 No life expectancy restrictions.

3.2.2 No restrictions on use of other Investigational Agents.

3.2.3 No exclusion requirements due to co-morbid disease or incurrent illness.

3.2.4 Patients will be excluded if they have a documented allergy to colloid.

3.2.5 There are no known exclusion criteria relating to concomitant medications or
substances that have the potential to affect the activity or pharmacokinetics of the study
agent.

3.2.6 No other agent-specific exclusion criteria.

3.2.7 Pregnant and nursing patients will be excluded if lymphoscintigraphy is felt to be
too high risk.

3.2.8 Cancer survivors and those who are HIV-positive will not be excluded from the study.
