Green dye could help surgeons spot hidden cancer in kids
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether a green dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons find sentinel lymph nodes—the first nodes where cancer might spread—in children with solid tumors. Ten children under 18 will get the dye injected during surgery, and doctors will check if it li…
