Mechanism of action

Carbon nanoparticles serve as a tracer agent that preferentially drains to and concentrates in sentinel lymph nodes, the first nodes to which cancer may spread. By visualizing these nodes intraoperatively through their black coloration, surgeons can identify and selectively remove them for pathological examination, improving staging accuracy and reducing unnecessary lymph node dissection.
