Selective Lymph Node Dissection Using Fluorescent Dye in Node-positive Breast Cancer

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2017-04-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

In this study, navigation of lymphatic passage after sentinel lymph node with indocyanine green was performed during axillary lymph node dissection in breast surgery . By comparing the concordance between the passage of indocyanine green and actual lymph node metastasis, selective lymph node dissection can be developed.

• Phase: Phase 4
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
