Glowing dye lights up hidden cancer cells during surgery

NCT ID NCT07124351

Summary

This study is testing whether a special fluorescent dye called CYTALUX can help surgeons see gastrointestinal cancer cells more clearly during surgery. The dye is injected before the operation and glows under special near-infrared light, potentially revealing cancer that might otherwise be missed. The trial aims to see if this imaging technique works reliably in at least 70% of the 15 adult patients with stomach, esophageal, or appendix cancers.
