A Comparative Analysis of Sentinel Lymph Node Sampling Utilizing Sentinel Lymphoscintigraphy Alone Versus the Combined Application of Sentinel Lymphoscintigraphy and Fluorescence Lymphangiography
The integration of ICG lymphangiography with sentinel lymphoscintigraphy enhances lymph node sampling and detection sensitivity, thereby reducing the false-negative rate. However, there is insufficient evidence to support the adequacy of using ICG alone for SLNB.
