Excerpt

We thank Drs. Pitsinis and Wishart for their valuable comments regarding our article “Indocyanine green fluorescence and blue dye methods in detection of sentinel lymph nodes in early breast cancer.”1 Their letter raises a clinical issue regarding the first sentinel lymph node (SLN) in context with sensitivity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of SLN biopsy using the indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence method. …
