The Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Navigation May be Useful to Personalize Lymph Nodes Dissection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging is a tool to detect sentinel nodes and the associated lymphatic network including para-sentinel nodes. According to recent experiences in breast cancer treatment, a real-time lymphatic mapping with ICG fluorescence may provide a possibility of being able to personalize lymph node dissection. This novel concept needs to be investigated in various types of diseases.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy using real-time fluorescence navigation with indocyanine green in cutaneous head and neck/lip mucosa melanomas.
BACKGROUND The triple technique (lymphoscintigraphy, patent-blue staining, and a gamma probe) constitutes a reliable method for the sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. However, in head and neck melanomas, a shine-through phenomenon, which occurs because these SLNs are close to the primary focus, is irreversibly problematic. To get around the shine-through phenomenon, this study uses the fluoresce...
متن کاملSentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer patients using fluorescence navigation with indocyanine green
BACKGROUND There are various methods for detecting sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) using a vital dye is a convenient and safe, intraoperatively preparative method to assess lymph node status. However, the disadvantage of the dye method is that the success rate of sentinel lymph node detection depend on the surgeon's skills and preoperative mapping of the...
متن کاملSentinel node navigation surgery in patients with early gastric cancer.
Clinical application of sentinel node (SN) mapping in patients with early gastric cancer has been a controversial issue for years. However, a recent meta-analysis and a prospective multicenter trial of SN mapping for early gastric cancer have shown acceptable SN detection rates and accuracy of determination of lymph node status. A dual-tracer method that utilizes radioactive colloids and blue d...
متن کاملSentinel node navigation surgery for gastroduodenal neuroendocrine tumors
The percentage of gastroduodenal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) among all gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) NETs has gradually increased worldwide. Sentinel node navigation surgery (SNNS) has been developed as a personalized approach in the surgical strategy for early gastrointestinal tract cancers. We herein report 2 cases of gastroduodenal NETs treated with SNNS. Technetium-tin colloid including ind...
متن کاملIndocyanine green fluorescence mapping of sentinel lymph node in patients with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma after previous radiotherapy.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to present the feasibility of indocyanine green (ICG) mapping of sentinel lymph node in recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). M1ETHODS: Peritumoral injection of 5-mg ICG solution and real-time mapping of the sentinel lymph nodes in the neck was performed during surgery. The sentinel lymph node identified was excised and sent separately for laboratory...
