Summary

This study tests whether a dye called Indocyanine Green (ICG) can help surgeons better see tumor tissue during head and neck cancer surgery. About 30 adults with squamous cell carcinoma who are at risk of recurrence will receive the dye before surgery, and special cameras will capture images of the tumor. The goal is to improve how completely the tumor is removed, which may lower the chance of cancer coming back.
