Table 3 Summary of the studies evaluating the role of indocyanine green to detect peritoneal carcinomatosis

Ref.	Yr	Patients	Nodules	Additional nodules	Sensitivity	Specificity	Considerations
Liberale et al[95], 2020	2016	14	63	21.4%	87.5%	100%
Barabino et al[96], 2020	2016	10	88		72.4%	77.3%
Filippello et al[97], 2020	2016	10	29		65%	57.1%	Same patients than Barabino et al[96], but comparing the use of bevacizumab or not
Lieto et al[100], 2020	2018	4	69	16	96.9%	75%	ICG adds 25% of diagnostic improvement
Sluiter et al[104], 2020	2019	28	169		80%	74.8%	NBI increases sensitivity from 80% to 96% when compared with white light, with the same specificity

ICG: Indocyanine green; NBI: Narrow band imaging.
