NCT ID NCT07303231
First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special dye (indocyanine green) can help surgeons find the first lymph nodes where esophageal cancer might spread. By using a camera that sees the dye glow, doctors hope to remove only the necessary lymph nodes, reducing complications like fluid leaks and immune problems. About 144 adults with esophageal squamous cell cancer will take part. If successful, this technique could make surgery safer and more precise.
