Glow-in-the-Dark dye helps surgeons spot hidden lung cancer
NCT ID NCT06145048
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special fluorescent dye called VGT-309 that makes lung cancer cells glow during surgery. About 89 people with known or suspected lung cancer received the dye before their operation. The goal was to see if the dye helps surgeons find tumors that are hard to see with standard methods, including small or hidden cancer spots and cancerous lymph nodes. The dye is not a treatment itself but a tool to improve surgical accuracy.
