Glowing dye helps robots save more lung in cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT02570815

Summary

This study is testing a new technique to help surgeons perform more precise robotic surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It uses a special fluorescent dye that makes healthy lung tissue glow green, helping the surgeon see and remove only the diseased segment while saving as much healthy lung as possible. The goal is to see if this dye-guided method is safe, accurate, and better than current standard surgery for patients with small tumors.
