title: [Sentinel node identification of lung cancer].
abstract: Sentinel node identification is important for small-sized non small cell lung cancer patients who are candidates for segmentectomy in determining their eligibilities. Intraoperative sentinel node identification using indocyanine green or preoperative computed tomography lymphography by transbronchial injection of iopamidol are suitable for daily medical practices, because these methods take about only 10 minutes to identify sentinel nodes in addition to routine surgical or bronchoscopic procedures.
