First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study tests a dye mixture (ICG and hyaluronic acid) that doctors inject into the colon wall near a tumor during a colonoscopy. During surgery, a special camera makes the dye glow, helping surgeons see exactly where the tumor is. The goal is to remove the right amount of tissue and avoid extra surgery. About 30 adults with early-stage colorectal cancer will take part.
