Glowing dye may help surgeons spot hidden cancer in kids
NCT ID NCT05645523
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a dye called Indocyanine Green (ICG) can help surgeons find lymph nodes that may contain cancer in children with solid tumors in the belly. About 25 children under 21 with Wilms tumor or a type of muscle cancer will get the dye during surgery. The goal is to see if the dye works well and is safe, so doctors can better tell if cancer has spread.
