Glowing dye could help surgeons spot hidden cancer cells
NCT ID NCT04719156
Summary
This study is testing if a safe, fluorescent dye can help surgeons better see if any cancer cells are left behind during sarcoma removal surgery. Currently, surgeons send small samples to a lab during surgery, which takes time and only checks specific spots. Researchers will inject the dye before surgery and use a special camera to see if it 'lights up' any leftover tumor tissue, hoping this leads to more complete removals and fewer cancer returns.
