Tiny glowing particles could light up prostate cancer for surgeons

NCT ID NCT04167969

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether a new imaging tracer made with tiny silica particles can safely help surgeons better see prostate cancer cells during surgery. The tracer is designed to attach to cancer cells and show up on scans, potentially helping surgeons remove more cancer while sparing healthy tissue. Researchers will test this in 16 patients undergoing prostate cancer surgery to see if it's safe and if it improves cancer detection compared to standard imaging.
