Role of ICG-99mTc-nanocolloid for sentinel lymph node detection in cervical cancer: a pilot study
2017
Purpose
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) can be used for nodal staging in early cervical cancer. For this purpose, the tracers most commonly used are radiotracers based on technetium. For the last decade, indocyanine green (ICG) has been used as a tracer for SLNB in other malignancies with excellent results and, more recently, a combination of ICG and a radiotracer has been shown to have the advantages of both tracers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of ICG-99mTc-nanocolloid in SLN detection in patients with cervical cancer.
