First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study tests a technique where a dye is injected into the blood to make healthy lung tissue glow green during robotic surgery. The surgeon can then see and remove only the small cancer-containing segment, leaving more healthy lung behind. The goal is to see if this method is accurate and safe for people with early-stage lung cancer.
