First seen Apr 08, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study is testing whether a drug called 5-ALA, already used in brain surgery, can make upper urinary tract tumors glow under blue light during a procedure. About 10 adults with known or suspected tumors will take 5-ALA before surgery, and doctors will use a special light to see if it helps find cancer that standard white light might miss. The goal is to improve how well surgeons can detect and remove these tumors.
