Glowing dye lights up hidden cancer cells in surgery

NCT ID NCT06511037

Summary

This is a small, early study to see if a special fluorescent dye called CYTALUX can help surgeons better see and remove cancerous spots during surgery for abdominal cancers that have spread. The dye is designed to stick to cancer cells and glow under special light. The main goal is to measure how accurately the glowing spots match actual cancer found by lab tests after removal.
