Glowing cancer cells: new dye could help surgeons spot hidden tumors

NCT ID NCT03384238

Summary

This study is testing a new fluorescent dye designed to help surgeons see pancreatic cancer cells more clearly during surgery. The dye is attached to an antibody that seeks out cancer cells. During the operation, a special camera makes the dyed cancer cells glow, potentially helping surgeons remove more of the tumor and leave more healthy tissue.
