Glowing dye could spare esophageal cancer patients from extra lymph node removal
NCT ID NCT07303231
First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons find cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes during esophageal cancer surgery. About 144 adults with esophageal squamous cell cancer will receive the dye around their tumor, and surgeons will use a special camera to see which lymph nodes glow. The goal is to see if this method can accurately find cancer while allowing doctors to remove fewer lymph nodes, which may reduce side effects like fluid leaks and weakened immunity.
