Description
Kristoff Armand Tan and Yoo Min Kim review glow-guided surgery for stomach cancer, in work from two thousand twenty-four. A green dye lit by near-infrared light helps surgeons see inside the body during operations. First used to find sentinel lymph nodes, the method now serves wider roles.
Glow imaging can steer standard node removal, locate tumors live, and mark clean cut margins. Open questions remain on accuracy, dosing standards, and safety in sentinel node work. The dye also marks cancer tissue only weakly, which limits its sorting power. New endoscope and robot tools may carry the method into routine care.
