Lymph Node Mapping in Finding Metastatic Disease in Patients With Sebaceous Gland Cancer of the Eyelid

Sentinel Lymph Node Localization and Biopsy for Sebaceous Gland Carcinoma of the Eyelid

This phase II trial studies how well lymph node mapping works in finding disease that has spread from the place where it started to other places in the body in patients with sebaceous gland cancer of the eyelid. Lymph node mapping may help in planning surgery to remove cancer and affected lymph nodes.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Identify the rate of SLN (sentinel lymph node) positivity for eyelid sebaceous gland carcinomas.

II. Identify the false negative events associated with SLN biopsy for sebaceous gland carcinomas.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Record any side effects associated with SLN biopsy for sebaceous gland carcinoma of the eyelid.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive technetium Tc 99m sulfur colloid intradermally (ID) and then undergo lymph node mapping and SLN biopsy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 4 years.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Possible or suspicious sebaceous gland carcinoma of the eyelid
• A CXR (chest x-ray), liver enzymes, and a head and neck computed tomography (CT), a single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and an ultrasound negative for clinical evidence of metastasis
• Patient provided written informed consent; in the event that non-English speaking participants are eligible for this study, a short form (if applicable) or an informed consent document (ICD) in their language, will be utilized and completed in accordance with the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) Policy for Consenting Non-English Speaking Participants

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pregnant or nursing females
