First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new dye, called cRGDY-PEG-Cy5.5-C dots, to help surgeons see cancer in lymph nodes during surgery for head and neck melanoma. About 67 people will get the dye injected near their tumor before or during surgery. A special camera then shows which lymph nodes contain cancer. The dye does not treat the cancer, but may improve how doctors find it.
