Summary
This study tests a new fluorescent clip that glows under special light to help surgeons locate colon tumors during minimally invasive surgery. About 110 adults with colon cancer will be randomly assigned to receive either the clip or a standard dye injection before surgery. The goal is to see if the clip is as good or better at pinpointing the tumor, with fewer side effects.
