First seen Nov 10, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tests whether injecting a near-infrared dye near a lung tumor can help surgeons see the tumor and the first lymph node it drains to during surgery. About 100 adults having lung surgery will receive the dye, and doctors will check if it safely improves the removal of cancer-containing tissue. The goal is to make lung cancer surgery more precise and reduce the chance of missing cancer that has spread.
