Abstract:Background:
Indocyanine green (ICG)-guided surgery has proven effective in the identification of neoplastic tissues. The effect of radiation therapy (RT) on lymph node fluorescence after intravenous injection of ICG has not been addressed yet. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of RT on node fluorescence during neck dissection in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Results:
Twenty-four patients with planned neck dissection for HNSCC were prospectively enrolled. Eleven were inc… Show more
