NCT ID NCT07315828
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a dye called indocyanine green can help surgeons see any leftover tumor tissue during surgery for giant cell tumor of bone. About 40 patients will receive the dye before surgery, and a special camera will highlight tumor areas. The goal is to see if this technique improves how completely the tumor is removed.
