Lidocaine Mucilage-ICG as an Optical Agent for Tumor Delineation During Breast-conserving Surgery
Lidocaine Mucilage-ICG as an Optical Agent for Tumor Delineation During Breast-conserving Surgery
Around 15%-30% of patients receiving breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for invasive breast
 carcinoma or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) need a reoperation due to tumor-positive margins
 at final histopathology. Currently available modalities used for intraoperative surgical
 margin assessment all have specific limitations. In order to improve intraoperative tumor
 localization and surgical margin assessment in BCS, we developed a fluorescent tracer, the
 Lidocaine mucilage-ICG tracer, which could be locally injected and detected by fluorescent
 camera systems during operation. In this study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of Lidocaine
 mucilage-ICG as an agent for intraoperative tumor delineation.
