About this trial
The aim of this study is to investigate whether Sentinel Node biopsy can be performed without the use of lymphoscintigraphy and with ICG as a mono-tracer in women with vulvar cancer, unifocal tumor \< 4 cm (clinical stage IB and II). Further, to investigate the accuracy of combined PET-CT and ultrasound (US) of the groins with US-guided biopsy of suspicious lymph nodes for the identification of macro-metastases in women with vulvar cancer, unifocal tumor \< 4 cm.
