ICG–TC for the SNP is a feasible procedure in pediatric patients. It showed an accurate detection rate, was helpful for visual guidance, and no adverse events occurred.The standard-of-care sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedure in pediatric patients with cancer consists of a preoperative intradermal or peritumoral injection with Successful SNP depends on SLN localization using a dye and/or radiotracer, such as In adult patients with melanoma, near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) has been shown to be a safe, efficient, and accurate method for intraoperative visual detection of SLNs, with a higher sensitivity (up to 97%) compared with blue dye.Our aim is to determine the feasibility of the addition of ICG to
