Clinical Application of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging for Detection of Sentinel Node in Gastric Cancer Surgery
نویسنده
چکیده
The indocyanine green fluorescence imaging is a promising technique for sentinel node biopsy with advantages of dye-guided method, which is potentially safer, more convenient, and more cost-effective compared with the radioguided one. It could simplify the dye-guided method in both open and laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery, and possibly shortens the learning curve, which is one of the most crucial factors in the clinical application of SN concept.

Sentinel 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...

Recent meta-analyses and a prospective multicenter trial of sentinel node (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 employs radioactive colloids and blue dyes is currently considered the most reliable method for the stable detection of SNs in patients with early gastric cancer. How...

More than ten years have passed since the sentinel node (SN) concept for gastric cancer surgery was first discussed. Less invasive modified surgical approaches based on the SN concept have already been put into practice for malignant melanoma and breast cancer, however the SN concept is not yet placed in a standard position in gastric cancer surgery even after two multi-institutional prospectiv...

Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging has recently been reported as a new method for sentinel node (SN) mapping in several types of cancers. In this study, we determined the feasibility and accuracy of SN mapping guided by ICG fluorescence imaging in gastric cancer. Methods: Our series consisted of 84 patients with gastric cancer who had undergone standard gastrectomy with ly...
