Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping was reported to improve lymph node staging in colon cancer. This study compares isosulfan blue (IB) with indocyanine green (ICG)-based SLN-mapping and assesses the prognostic value of isolated tumor cells (ITC) and micro-metastases in upstaged patients. A total of 220 stage I-III colon cancer patients were included in this prospective single-center study. In 170 patients, SLN-mapping was performed in vivo with IB and in 50 patients ex vivo with ICG. Three levels of each SLN were stained with H&E. If negative for tumor infiltration, immunostaining for cytokeratin (AE1/3; cytokeratin-19) was performed. SLN detection rate for IB and ICG was 100 and 98%, respectively. Accuracy and sensitivity was 88 and 75% for IB, 82 and 64% for ICG, respectively (p = 0.244). Overall, 149 (68%) patients were node negative. In these patients, ITC and micro-metastases were detected in 26% (31/129) with IB and 17% (5/29) with ICG (p = 0.469). Patients with ITC and micro-metastases did show decreased overall survival (hazard ratio = 1.96, p = 0.09) compared to node negative disease. This study demonstrates a high diagnostic accuracy for both the IB and the ICG SLN-mapping. SLN-mapping upstaged a quarter of patients with node negative colon cancer, and the detected ITC and micro-metastases were an independent negative prognostic marker in multivariate analysis.
