Surgery is so far the most widely used and effective
treatment of neoplastic
diseases.However,
residual tumour cells during
surgery remain a major trigger of
cancer recurrence and matastasis.Although intraoperative rapid pathological R0 resection can be achieved based on preoperative imageological examination,but for small
satellite lesions and the naked
eye can not find the error quickly and so often cause pathological presence of
residual tumour cells.Thus,quick and accurate identification of
residual cancer cells is crucial for
prognosis of
cancer patients.
Indocyanine green (ICG) is a new type of
fluorochrome that can
stain tumours under the near-infrared
fluorescence during
surgery,the
paper will be reviewed latest developments in the
reagent for
fluorescence in tumours.
