First seen Jan 19, 2026 · Last updated May 26, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study tests a special dye and imaging system that makes cancer cells glow, helping surgeons see and remove tumors more completely during surgery for colorectal, pancreatic, esophageal, and gastric cancers. About 66 adults scheduled for surgery will receive the dye beforehand, and the system will be used to check removed tissue. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and accurately identifies cancer.
