NCT ID NCT04842162
First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study tests whether a near-infrared camera and a dye called indocyanine green can help surgeons spot tiny bits of cancer left behind during head and neck cancer surgery. About 65 adults with mouth or throat cancer will receive the dye before surgery, and the camera will scan the surgical area in real time. The goal is to see if this technique can detect leftover cancer cells that are invisible to the naked eye, so doctors can remove them right away and avoid a second surgery.
