The potential of indocyanine green fluorescence detection in surgical cut margin of breast conserving surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) is a cutting-edge technology that uses near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging to guide surgeons in surgery. Indocyanine green (ICG) is a fluorescent dye, which can be used for in vivo imaging of tumor cells. We aimed to explore the use of ICG fluorescence-guided technology as a rapid intraoperative margin assessment method for breast cancer surgery. In addition, we also compared the dose selection of ICG.

Methods

This was a non-randomized prospective cohort study. Data were collected between August 2021 and October 2022 in the Division of Breast Surgery, Department of General Surgery, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University. Upon specimen removal, tumor margins were immed
