A Study for Optimization of 6% Hydroxyethyl Starch Based Indocyanine Green Near-infrared Fluorescence Navigated Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy for Breast Cancer Patients

A study for dosage-image optimization of 6% hydroxyethyl starch diluted indocyanine green for near-infrared fluorescence navigated sentinel lymph node mapping for breast cancer patient.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Pre-clinical experiment has shown using 6% hydroxyethyl starch (Voluven®) as a solvent, compared with pure water, can improve brightness of indocyanine green particles at the same concentration. Similar findings have been addressed using human serum albumin as a solvent for indocyanine green in previous studies, but there was no report using 6% hydroxyethyl starch as a solvent till now. This study aims for clinical translation and optimization of 6% hydroxyethyl starch diluted indocyanine green in breast cancer patients undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy.
