U.S., Dec. 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07303231) titled 'The Value of Indocyanine Green-guided Near-infrared Fluorescence Technology in Tracing Sentinel Lymph Nodes During Esophagectomy' on Jan. 19.
Brief Summary: Sentinel lymph nodes, as the primary site of tumor metastasis, play a pivotal role in assessing patient prognosis and planning subsequent treatment strategies. The investigators plan to conduct a multicenter, prospective cohort study to evaluate the effectiveness of indocyanine green (ICG)-guided near-infrared imaging in tracing sentinel lymph node during esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) surgery, compared with the gold standard of complete lymph node dissection (CLND), ...
