Fluorescent‐guided surgery for sentinel lymph node detection in gastric cancer and carcinoembryonic antigen targeted fluorescent‐guided surgery in colorectal and pancreatic cancer

摘要

Sentinel lymph node procedures for gastric cancer resections using indocyanine green (ICG) linked to Nanocoll outperformed normal ICG but did not provide information on possible lymph node metastasis. Carcinoembryonic antigen targeted fluorescent imaging using SGM‐101 was successful in both pancreatic and colorectal cancer. A large phase III multicentre trial will soon be initiated in colorectal cancer patients.
