Glowing dye could light the way for safer brain tumor surgery
NCT ID NCT05746104
Summary
This study is testing whether a safe, FDA-approved dye can help surgeons see brain tumors more clearly during an operation. Patients receive a low-dose injection of the dye on the day of surgery, and a special camera system makes the tumor tissue glow. The goal is to help surgeons better distinguish tumor from healthy brain tissue, potentially leading to more complete and safer tumor removal.
