First seen Feb 26, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study tests whether a fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons see if any tumor remains after removing a sarcoma. About 110 adults with bone or soft tissue sarcoma will receive the dye before surgery, and a special camera will check for leftover cancer. The goal is to see if this method is more accurate than current standard checks.
