Summary

This study is testing whether a green dye called ICG can help surgeons see tumors more clearly during surgery in children and teens with solid tumors. The dye is injected before surgery and makes tumor tissue glow under a special camera. The goal is to see if this technique helps find all cancer cells, including ones that might be missed by the naked eye or standard scans. About 230 participants with different types of tumors will take part.
