Glow-in-the-dark dye could help surgeons spot brain tumors
NCT ID NCT05746104
First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study tests whether a dye called indocyanine green (ICG), given on the same day as surgery, can help surgeons see and remove brain or spinal cord tumors more accurately. About 105 adults with nervous system tumors will receive a low-dose injection of the dye before surgery. Special cameras will then be used to see if the dye makes tumor tissue glow, helping doctors tell it apart from healthy brain tissue.
