Abstract
Both tin colloid and phytate are reliable tracers for identifying SNs in non-small cell lung cancer. The advantage of phytate is that SNs can be detected more frequently than with tin colloid, even in patients with a low forced expiratory volume in 1 second to forced vital capacity ratio. However, tin colloid requires fewer nodes than phytate to identify SNs.
