The purpose of this study is to find out whether sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping with ICG dye and NIR imaging can be used to identify esophageal or esophagogastric junction cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. If SLN mapping is successful in these types of cancer, surgeons in the future could identify the sentinel lymph nodes and only remove these instead of removing all the lymph nodes which is currently done.
