Summary
This study tests a special dye that attaches to lung cancer cells and makes them glow under a camera during surgery. The goal is to help surgeons see and remove all cancer, including tiny spots that might otherwise be missed. About 30 adults with lung cancer or lung metastases will receive the dye before their planned surgery. The study will find the best dose and timing to make the cancer cells glow brightest.
