Quantitative assessment of fluorescence intensity of ICG in sentinel nodes in early gastric cancer

ConclusionIt is possible that the evaluation of fluorescence intensity is useful for selected SNs instead of RI tracer. If fluorescence intensity is measurable in surgery, an infrared fluorescence method using ICG may be useful and safe for the detection of SN in early gastric cancer.
