Doctors test glowing dye to guide ovarian cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT04051502

Summary

This study tested whether a special green dye could help surgeons see the first lymph nodes that ovarian cancer might spread to. Researchers injected the dye into the ovaries of 48 women during surgery to see if it would travel to and highlight these key lymph nodes. The goal was to see if this mapping technique is possible and could one day help guide more precise surgery.
