First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tested a dye called IS-002 that makes prostate cancer cells glow under near-infrared light during robotic prostate removal surgery. 59 men with aggressive prostate cancer received the dye before surgery to see if it helps surgeons find and remove all cancer cells. The goal was to reduce the chance of leaving cancer behind (positive surgical margins) and improve surgical precision.
