Indocyanine green fluorescence mapping for sentinel lymph node biopsy in early breast cancer

A recent feasibility study (ICG-10) has confirmed high sensitivity of ICG fluorescence mapping for sentinel SLN detection in early breast cancer with 95% of nodes both blue and fluorescent. This follow-on study has specifically evaluated a combination of ICG and blue dye for SLN localization.
