Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence method is a modification of the dye method, in which the detection of sentinel node (SN) is facilitated by fluorescence navigation. Tissue penetration of near-infrared light is an important aspect of this method. Visualization of subcutaneous lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes during the dissection was useful to increase the accuracy of SN biopsy. However, pre-incisional localization of SN is sometimes difficult by ICG fluorescence method alone. Further improvement and investigation are necessary to be a possible replacement of radioactive colloid.
