Glowing dye lights up hidden cancer cells for surgeons
NCT ID NCT00264602
Summary
This study is testing a safe dose of a special dye and a near-infrared light to help surgeons see and remove the first lymph node that drains from a lung tumor. By finding and analyzing this 'sentinel' node more precisely, doctors hope to better detect if cancer has spread. The study involves 57 adults with early-stage lung cancer who are already scheduled for surgery.
