Glow-in-the-dark dye could help doctors spot lung cancer during a scope exam
NCT ID NCT06809946
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special dye, given before a bronchoscopy, can make lung tumors glow so doctors can see them more clearly. About 20 adults with a suspicious lung nodule or lymph node will receive the dye and then have a bronchoscopy with a special camera. The goal is to see if the dye helps tell cancer from normal tissue, which could improve diagnosis.
