Efficacy of preoperative colonoscopic tattooing with indocyanine green on lymph node harvest and factors associated with inadequate lymph node harvest in colorectal cancer.

CONCLUSION: PCT with ICG did not improve adequate LNH in colorectal cancer but effectively improved adequate LNH in early colorectal cancer. Male sex and early cancer were risk factors for inadequate LNH in colorectal cancer, so PCT is needed for adequate LNH in these patients. PMID: 31071272 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
