Green dye could help surgeons spot hidden cancer in kids
NCT ID NCT07054944
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a green dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons find sentinel lymph nodes—the first nodes where cancer might spread—in children with solid tumors. Ten children under 18 will get the dye injected during surgery, and doctors will check if it lights up the right nodes. The goal is to see if this method is safe and works well, which could lead to more precise surgery and fewer side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Indocyanine Green (ICG) dye
What this could lead to
If successful, this technique could make lymph node removal more precise and less invasive for children with solid tumors, potentially reducing side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 10 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The dye may not always reach the right nodes, and there is a small risk of allergic reaction.
