abstract：PURPOSE:Precise excision of neuroblastoma is challenging, especially when tumors adhere to vital structures. Indocyanine green (ICG), an FDA-approved dye with absorption peaking at 800 nm, can absorb the near IR laser energy and release heat in the dyed tissue. We hypothesize that by injecting ICG at tumor sites follow...
