Abstract

The lymphatic drainage pattern of ICG-(99m)Tc-nanocolloid is identical to that of (99m)Tc-nanocolloid. This observation, together with the added value of intraoperative fluorescence guidance, warrants wider evaluation of hybrid ICG-(99m)Tc-nanocolloid as a tracer for sentinel node procedures.
