Article Abstract
Purpose: Lymphadenectomy represents a fundamental step during gastrointestinal cancer resection, as the removal of an adequate number of lymph nodes is crucial to define the stage of the disease and prognosis. Lymphadenectomy during gastric and colorectal resection and adrenalectomy for cancer are technically demanding and can be associated with risk of bleeding. To date, lymphadenectomy is often performed without any visual aid. Indocyanine green fluorescence for lymph node mapping can provide better intraoperative visualization. The purpose of this review is to report the current evidence on this topic.
Materials And Methods: A systematic research of the electronic databases Medline, Embase and Google Scholar was conducted from the inception to December 2022.
Results: This review summarizes the current evidence of techniques and results of fluorescence guided lymphatic mapping during gastrointestinal and adrenal surgery.
Conclusion: According to this review, ICG guided lymphadenectomy for gastrointestinal tumours and adrenocortical carcinoma is feasible and safe. In gastrointestinal tumours it allows higher number of harvested lymph nodes.

Purpose: Recent advancements in medical technologies have made trans-arterial treatment of breast cancer feasible. Consequently, understanding the vascular anatomies of breast cancers and axillary lymph node metastases has become indispensable for sophisticated treatments. The aim of this study was to determine the vascular anatomy of the breast, which is crucial for trans-arterial chemoembolization in patients with breast cancer.

Advances in the immunometabolism field have shown that infiltrated immune cells play a pivotal role in the development and function of thermogenic adipose tissue (TAT), including brown and beige fat. However, scarce research has focused on the role that organized lymphoid structures, like lymph nodes and lymphatics vessels, may exert on TAT. In this review we summarize the evidence suggesting that a significant link exists between the lymphoid tissues and adipose tissue, and we describe the most important in vitro and in vivo findings indicating that organized lymphoid tissues also play an important role in TAT biogenesis and function, raising relevant questions which are still unsolved in this emerging field.
