Glow-in-the-Dark dye could help surgeons spot hidden cancer
NCT ID NCT07134192
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons see and remove all sarcoma tissue during surgery. 90 adults with soft tissue sarcoma in the trunk or limbs will receive the dye before surgery, and the surgeon will use the glow to guide removal. The goal is to reduce the number of patients who need a second operation because cancer cells were left behind.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
indocyanine green (ICG) dye
What this could lead to
If it works, this technique could help surgeons see and remove more cancer during the first operation, lowering the chance of needing a second surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 90 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The dye may not clearly show all cancer cells, and some people may have allergic reactions.
