Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for providing information for determining lung tumor through inhalation of a fluorescent contrast agent, more particularly to a method of inhaling a small amount of Indocyanine green. The present disclosure does not have the problem of the existing intravenous injection that the administered fluorescent contrast agent is distributed throughout the body. In addition, when comparing the cancer detection efficiency of inhalation administration and intravenous injection, the inhaled fluorescent contrast agent exhibits remarkably higher cancer detection effect than the intravenously injected fluorescent contrast agent.
