Abstract

Fluorescence lymph node mapping using indocyanine green significantly enhances the accuracy of preoperative CT staging in right-sided colon cancer by providing a real-time visualization of lymph nodes, which allows for more precise identification and removal of potentially metastatic nodes, particularly in advanced cases; this approach reduces false positives, decreases over-staging, and improves the alignment between CT findings and pathologic outcomes, thereby leading to better diagnostic accuracy and more effective treatment planning.
