Abstract
Objective:
This study aims to investigate the feasibility of combined application of indocyanine
green (ICG) and methylene blue (MB) for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients
with early breast cancer.
Methods:
A total of 415 patients who underwent SLNB and axillary lymph node dissection were
enrolled. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) was assessed in 197 patients with ICG and MB
combination method, while, the other 218 patients were detected by MB method alone.
During surgery, all SLNs were harvested for pathological examination. Then the
detection rate and false negative rate of SLNs were comparatively analyzed between
the 2 groups.
Results:
In the combined ICG and MB group, the detection rate of SLNs was 96.9%, significantly
higher than that of MB group, which was 89.7% (P < .05). Similarly, in combined group,
the average number of SLNs per patient was 3.0, much higher than that of MB group,
which was 2.1 (P < .05). There was no statistically significant difference in false
negative rate between combined group and MB alone group, which was 7.3% and
10.5%, respectively (P = .791).
Conclusion:
The combined application of ICG and MB for SLNB is much more effective than MB
alone in detecting SLNs.
