Glowing dye lights up prostate cancer for surgeons

NCT ID NCT06434909

Summary

This study tested whether a special fluorescent dye called Cytalux could help surgeons better see prostate cancer tissue during surgery. The dye, injected before the operation, is designed to make cancer cells glow under a special near-infrared light. The goal was to see if this helps surgeons find and remove more cancerous tissue that might otherwise be missed.
