Core Tip	Two prospective multicenter trials of sentinel node navigation surgery (SNNS) for gastric cancer have been accomplished in Japan. Kitagawa et al reported that the endoscopic dual (dye and radioisotope) tracer method for SN biopsy was confirmed acceptable and effective when applied to the early-stage gastric cancer. The ideal method of SNNS should allow secure and accurate detection of sentinel lymph nodes, and real time observation of lymphatic flow during operation. In this review, we attempted to comprehensively evaluate the history, technical aspects, tracers, and clinical applications of SNNS with a special emphasis on the use of Infrared Ray Electronic Endoscopes with Indocyanine Green.
