  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Fluorescence-Guided Surgery

Abstract

Reports of sentinel node biopsy in colorectal cancer surgery are quite fewer than those in the field of breast, skin, and gastric cancers. In this article, we describe the current status and future perspective of this technique based on literature reviews.
