Glowing dye lights up hidden cancer in lung surgery
NCT ID NCT03097575
Summary
This study is testing a new imaging technique to help surgeons see cancer spread more clearly during lung surgery. Doctors inject a safe, fluorescent dye near the tumor and use a special camera to make the first lymph nodes that drain from the tumor glow. The goal is to see if this method helps find and remove lymph nodes that might contain hidden cancer cells, which could lead to more accurate staging and treatment.
