Excerpt
We are interested in the establishment by Miyashiro et al. of a new technique that uses indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence for sentinel node (SN) detection in gastric cancer surgery.

In surgery for gastric cancer, acceptable detection rates of SNs and accuracy of intraoperative SN examination have been reported that use the dye-guided or radio-guided method.
