Clinical Trial: A Non-inferiority Study of Indocyanine Green-guided Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping Versus Conventional Lymph Node Dissection in Esophageal Cancer

U.S., Aug. 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07788001) titled 'A Non-inferiority Study of Indocyanine Green-guided Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping Versus Conventional Lymph Node Dissection in Esophageal Cancer' on Aug. 18.

Brief Summary: In the comprehensive treatment system for esophageal cancer, surgical resection combined with regional lymph node dissection remains the core component for achieving cure in patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The traditional surgical concept holds that the more thorough the lymph node dissection, the better. However, increasing basic and clinical evidence indicates that lymph nodes without metastasis-particularly tumor-draining lymp...
