NCT ID NCT07380867
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a dye mixture called Luminomark, which is injected into the colon wall near a tumor during a colonoscopy. The dye glows under a special camera during surgery, helping surgeons see exactly where to cut. The study involves 30 adults with early-stage colorectal cancer who need surgery. The goal is to see if this marking method improves surgical accuracy and reduces unnecessary tissue removal.
