Original article title
Long-term outcomes of colorectal cancer after indocyanine green fluorescence-guided laparoscopic radical resection: a retrospective cohort study.
Takeaway
Fluorescence-guided colorectal cancer surgery was associated with a higher lymph-node yield and better cancer-specific survival in a single-center matched cohort. The nonrandomized design leaves uncertainty about whether fluorescence itself improved long-term outcomes.
Keep in mind
Retrospective matched cohort; association, not causation.
