As an optimal surgical procedure to accurately evaluate lymph node(LN) metastasis during surgery with minimal surgical resection, we have been developing sentinel node(SN) biopsy for early gastric cancer since the 1990s.Twelve institutions from the Japanese Society of Sentinel Node Navigation Surgery(SNNS), including Keio University Hospital, conducted a multicenter prospective trial to validate the SN concept using the dual-tracer method with blue dye and a radioisotope. According to the result...
