First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study tested whether an FDA-approved dye called Cytalux can help surgeons find cancer that is not visible to the naked eye during prostate cancer surgery. Nine adult men with aggressive prostate cancer received the dye before surgery, and surgeons used a special camera to look for glowing cancer cells. The goal was to see if the dye helps remove more cancer tissue and improve outcomes.
