Eligibility

Recruits 260 paediatric patients.

Pregnancy Exclusion
Documented negative pregnancy test for female patients of childbearing potential within 7 days of trial entry

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Undergoing surgery via open laparotomy and/or thoracotomy, minimally invasive thoracoscopic, transperitoneal or retroperitoneoscopic surgery\n- Documented negative pregnancy test for female patients of childbearing potential within 7 days of trial entry\n- Sexually active male and female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate and highly effective contraception while on study up until discharge\n- Written informed consent from the patient, parent or guardian\n- Cohort 2: Any renal tumour requiring surgical resection and retroperitoneal lymph node sampling\n- Cohort 3: Histologically confirmed or presumed diagnosis of para-testicular RMS (ptRMS) with the intention to sample nodes from the ipsilateral retroperitoneum according to template dissection. Otherwise known as Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection (RPLND)"}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Allergic to ICG\n- Cohort 2: Renal tumour requiring extensive retroperitoneal or hilar dissection to access normal renal parenchyma for the ICG injection as this could damage the lymphatic vessels\n- Cohort 2: Have entered a previous randomisation within Cohort 1\n- Cohort 3: Have entered a previous randomisation within Cohort 1\n- Allergic to iodine or iodides\n- Due to receive radioactive iodine as part of treatment\n- Known Hyperthyroidism\n- eGFR <15 ml/min/1.73 m2\n- Female patients who are breastfeeding\n- Neonates requiring exchange transfusion\n- Have entered a previous randomisation within the same cohort\n- Cohort 2: Kidney wholly replaced by tumour on pre-operative imaging"}
