INDOCYANINE GREEN (ICG)

This study is for people with early-stage colon cancer (stage I) who currently need a colectomy to remove part of the colon. The SENTRY trial tests a less invasive option: removing only the tumor and nearby lymph nodes using a camera and a special dye. The goal is to see if this …

This study tests if a safe green dye (indocyanine green) can help surgeons find cancer-spreading lymph nodes through the same cut used for mastectomy, avoiding a separate armpit incision. About 90 women with early breast cancer will receive the dye during surgery. The goal is to …

This study tests a new way to find the first lymph node where breast cancer might spread. Instead of using a radioactive tracer, doctors use a green dye and a special camera during surgery. The goal is to make the procedure safer, easier, and more available in hospitals across th…

This study looks at how the amount and storage of a green dye (indocyanine green) affect its ability to find the first lymph nodes where cancer might spread in people with cervical, endometrial, or vulvar cancer. Researchers will test different doses and storage methods to see wh…

This study looks at using a special green dye (ICG) during a surgery called Heller-Dor for people with achalasia, a swallowing disorder. The dye makes it easier for surgeons to see if there are any leaks or leftover muscle fibers during the operation. The goal is to improve safet…
