Experimental Design:~A physician investigator will obtain consent during the pre-operative appointment. Study team members may assist with the discussion.~Upon arrival to the pre-operative area 2 hours prior to surgery, the participant will be injected with 2.0 mg/kg ICG (Indocyanine Green Dye) as per standard protocol: during regular pre-operative work-up, during which a standard of care IV is inserted. The PI or resident physician will administer the injection.~The participant will undergo the tumor removal surgery as planned pre-operatively.~To assess the accuracy and precision of ICG dye localization within tumor, not non-tumor, a small sample of tumor and a small sample of native tissue will be obtained for microscopy analysis (ICG fluorescence is possible on slides following frozen sectioning) 30 seconds, no intra-operative delay.~Once the tumor is removed to the satisfaction of the surgeon, ICG Angiography (SPY PHI) will be performed to detect any residual signal, 2-3 minutes, no re-draping required.~The surgeon will complete a feedback sheet that assesses if the tumor was completely excised (or an intentional positive margin was left).~The operative surgeon will be blinded to the angiography result. ICG Angiography will be performed by the resident or surgical staff, without surgeon involvement. No study team members are blinded.~The dose that will be administered 2.0 mg/Kg IC. Doses are being based on measurements on post-washout signal (or the remaining signal after the dye is metabolized). Weight based dosing is therefore far more important. The proposed dosing is not close to the LD50 (median lethal dose) of ICG and no side effects are anticipated with the increased dose.~The Stryker team will be perform an in-service for SPY PHI ( SPY portable hand held imaging device) for all OR staff members, and individual demonstrations for each service resident will be performed. The device is very simple to use and no active measurements need to be made. No extended anesthesia will be required.~The participant will be monitored for recurrence, which will be compared with ICG angiography findings intra-operatively.~Study efficacy will be evaluated every 6 months, as early-termination and clinical translation will be indicated should accuracy be proven in compliance with IRB (Institutional Review Board) do no harm rules.~Radiographs, that are completed post operatively during the standard of care visit, will be reviewed for this research.
Tumor margin confirmation is important to confirming appropriate disease excision. Current standard of care is to take select margin samples to pathology for intra-operative readings. However, this is expensive, time consuming, and only assesses the margin contained within the specific sample. In prior work the investigators have determined that indocyanine green (ICG) is highly specific to the tumor bed when injected shortly before surgery. The investigators hypothesize that ICG will be able to accurately identify residual positive tumor margins during sarcoma excision procedures.
