Clinical implications of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging-Guided laparoscopic lymphadenectomy for patients with gastric cancer: A cohort study from two randomized, controlled trials using individual patient data

The value of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging in tracing metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) has rarely been reported. We aimed to evaluate the clinical implications of fluorescence imaging-guided lymphadenectomy and the sensitivity of fluorescent lymphography to detect metastatic LN stations in gastric cancer (GC).This analysis pooled data from two randomized controlled trials (FUGES-012 and FUGES-019 studies) on laparoscopic ICG...
