Indocyanine Green Fluorescence-Guided Sentinel Node Biopsy in Breast Cancer Within a North African Population: A Retrospective Study.

Objective: Radio isotopes and blue dyes alone or in combination are the most commonly used tracer agents in sentinel node (SN) biopsy for early breast cancer. Recent studies have found fluorescence method using indocyanine green (ICG) as a promising technology with fewer disadvantages.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of our database that included patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer scheduled for breast surgery and SN biopsy between 2016 and January 2021.
