Glowing dye helps surgeons spot hidden lung cancer

This study tests a special dye, panitumumab-IRDye800, that attaches to lung cancer cells and makes them glow under a special camera during surgery. The goal is to help surgeons see and remove all cancer tissue more accurately. About 30 adults with lung cancer or lung metastases will receive the dye before their planned surgery. Researchers will check the best dose and timing, and whether the dye helps find cancer that standard methods might miss.
