Summary

This study tests whether a green dye, injected near the tumor during surgery, can help surgeons identify the first lymph nodes where cancer might spread. By focusing on these key nodes, doctors hope to remove fewer lymph nodes overall, which may reduce complications like fluid leaks or immune problems. About 144 adults with esophageal cancer will take part to see if this dye-guided method is as accurate as the standard approach of removing all nearby lymph nodes.
