NCT ID NCT07380867
First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tests a dye mixture (ICG and hyaluronic acid) that doctors inject into the colon wall near a tumor during a colonoscopy. The dye glows under a special camera during surgery, helping surgeons see exactly where the tumor is. The goal is to make colon cancer surgery more precise and avoid removing extra healthy tissue. About 30 adults with early-stage colon cancer will take part.
