Sentinel node detection in endometrial cancer using indocyanine green and fluorescence imaging—a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sentinel lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer can help to provide the prognostic information needed while avoiding the morbidity associated with a complete lymphadenectomy. Studies with blue dye and technetium colloid have only given about 80% detection rates whereas with indocyanine green injection and fluorescence imaging, it gives about 88-100% detection rates. Herein, we report a case where indocyanine green was injected intracervically and sentinel nodes were detected at the paraaortic nodal area.

Sentinel 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...

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 c...

Background and Aim: Vascular imaging during surgical procedures is very important and has many applications. There are several methods for intraoperative vascular assessment such as intraoperative angiography, Doppler, and fluorescence-based techniques. The latter group and specially the Indocyanine Green (ICG) Video Angiography (VA) is commonly used for vascular surgery and sentinel node...
متن کاملTime-lapse imaging of sentinel lymph node using indocyanine green with near-infrared fluorescence imaging in early endometrial cancer
OBJECTIVE Indocyanine green with near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIR-ICG) is a new tracer modality in the limelight used for lymphatic mapping. The advantage of this method is to provide real-time image during surgery. To use ICG for image guided lymph node dissection, a surgeon needs to know initial appearing time and duration. METHODS A 52-year-old woman undertook surgery diagnosed with...
متن کاملIndocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging for Sentinel Node Mapping in Gastric Cancer
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...
