Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess if combining indocyanine green (ICG) with technetium-99m-filtered sulfur colloid (Tc99m-FSC) enhances the detection of bilateral sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in endometrial cancer patients.
- A total of 111 patients were analyzed, revealing that using both tracers improved bilateral detection rates; ICG performed better than Tc99m-FSC when used alone.
- The findings suggest that while the combination of both methods provides superior SLN detection, anatomical symmetry between detected nodes is unreliable, indicating caution during unilateral mapping failures.
