First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study is testing whether a safe green dye, called indocyanine green (ICG), can help surgeons see if a child's cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. About 10 children with solid tumors will get the dye injected during surgery. The goal is to see if the dye makes the lymph nodes glow, which could guide doctors to remove the right nodes for testing. This is a small early study focused on safety and feasibility, not a treatment.
