First seen Dec 29, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tests a new imaging tool that uses folic acid and tiny carbon dots to make liver cancer cells glow under a special camera. After surgery to remove liver cancer, the removed tissue is treated with these dots and scanned to see if the glow can help find cancer edges and small spots that standard lab tests might miss. The goal is to see if this method can help surgeons remove all cancer more accurately. About 20 adults with liver cancer scheduled for surgery will take part.
