Abstract

Timely diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous melanoma are important problems as mortality for this pathology exceeds 70 % of all skin tumors, and in Russia this disease is diagnosed at stage I only in 35.7 % of cases. Correctly selected therapy offers good results, but effective treatment requires accurate staging involving detection of metastases in the sentinel lymph nodes which cannot be identified clinically. This review analyzes study data showing the effectiveness of detection of the sentinel lymph nodes using indocyanine green fluorescence method.
