Vahabzadeh-Hagh AM, et al. - Experts assessed the feasibility of a new sentinel lymph node biopsy technique in cutaneous melanoma of the head and neck using indocyanine green (ICG) and the SPY Elite near-infrared imaging system. At a single quaternary care institution, cases of primary cutaneous melanoma of the head and neck without locoregional metastasis underwent SLNB between May 2016 and June 2017.
