NCT ID NCT07295340

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new imaging tool that uses folic acid and carbon dots to make liver cancer cells glow. After surgery, the removed liver tissue is treated with these dots and scanned with a special camera. The goal is to see if this method can find cancer edges and tiny spots better than standard lab tests. The study involves 20 adults with liver cancer who are scheduled for surgery.
