Summary
This study aimed to compare detection rate between dual sentinel node staining method using
mixture of indocyanine green (ICG) with radioisotope(RI), and RI only.
To identify the first lymph node(s) along the lymphatic drainage pathway from the primary
tumor in the breast cancer using RI only has several disadvantages such as invisibility,
interference. As ICG can be visualized with a fluorescence imaging system, we expects dual
sentinel lymph node staining method had better outcomes.
