Sentinel lymphadenectomy in cervical cancer using near infrared fluorescence from indocyanine green combined with technetium-99m-nanocolloid.

Our results show that indocyanine green is a promising approach for pelvic sentinel identification in cervical cancer. ICG has a similar sensitivity as radioactive Tc-99m-nanocolloid and may enhance both patient safety and surgeons' comfort. Lasers Surg. Med. 50:994-1001, 2018. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
