With poor survival and high recurrence rates, early-stage lung cancer currently appears to be understaged or un-dertreated, or both. Although sentinel lymph node biopsy is standard for patients with breast cancer and melanoma, its success has been unreliable in non-small cell lung cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy might aid in the identification of lymph nodes at the greatest risk of metastasis and allow for more detailed analysis to select for patients who might benefit from adjuvant therapy. The early results in our recent clinical trial of patients with early-stage lung cancer have suggested that near-infrared imaging might offer a platform for reliable sentinel lymph node identification in these patients.
