The importance of tumor localization is increasing because the application of laparoscopic surgery in colon cancer surgery is on the rise and the incidence of early cancer is also rising. There are several methods of tumor localization, but the most popular method is preoperative colonoscopic tattooing. Various tattooing agents are used, and among them, India ink is the most widely used agent. However, it is impossible to use India ink in Korea. Therefore, research on other alternative agents is needed.
随着腹腔镜手术在结肠癌手术中的应用不断增加以及早期癌症发病率的上升，肿瘤定位的重要性日益凸显。肿瘤定位有多种方法，但最常用的方法是术前结肠镜下纹身。人们使用了各种纹身剂，其中印度墨水是使用最广泛的试剂。然而，在韩国无法使用印度墨水。因此，需要对其他替代试剂进行研究。
