Intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence guidance for excision of nonpalpable breast cancer

Abstract: BackgroundDifferent techniques have been used for the guidance of nonpalpable breast cancer (NBC), but none of them has yet achieved perfect results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence-guided nonpalpable breast cancer lesion excision (IFNLE), to introduce an alternative technique.MethodsThe data about 56 patients with preoperatively diagnosed NBCs operated with the help of intraoperative IFNLE between November of 2010 and September of 2014 were retrosp… Show more

“…We also used the same method for the excision of NBCs in 56 patients and presented reviews of our experience. The results of INBCL in this study are similar to that of our series, in which we assessed margin clearance and the volume of the excised tissue with this technique . However, in the age of evidence‐based medicine, we found it necessary to perform a prospective, randomized trial comparing intra‐operative INBCL with the gold standard.…”

“…To date, an array of localization techniques is available, but the WL technique has become the standard means of localizing nonpalpable lesions. There are several disadvantages about it such as wire migration, displacement, patient discomfort, and poor aesthetic outcome . Radio‐guided occult lesion localization (ROLL) is most accurate (up to 94% clear margins) but is expensive, not universally available, and carries a risk associated with radioactive tracers …”

“…In addition, it has an excellent safety profile for clinical use. On the other hand, this marker has the disadvantage of requiring a special camera, which increases costs and could limit its use in clinical practice 4,5 .…”

“…Nearinfrared methods are most often used, where for example the fluorescent probe indocyanine green (ICG) remains the most commonly studied and utilised fluorophore for applications in fluorescence-guided surgery. ICG has demonstrated potential in various oncological applications through combination with endoscopic-based techniques such as laparoscopy 6 , as well as demonstrating its potential use in breast cancer margin estimation 7,8 . Despite success with ICG, near-infrared imaging techniques have not readily entered into clinical use due to the lack of appropriate contrast agents that have been FDA approved with current imaging technologies 9 .…”
