Summary

This trial tests a dye mixture called Luminomark, which is injected into the colon wall near a tumor during a colonoscopy. The dye glows under a special camera during surgery, helping surgeons see exactly where to cut. The study involves 30 adults with early-stage colorectal cancer who need surgery. The goal is to see if this marking method improves surgical accuracy and reduces unnecessary tissue removal.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Indocyanine Green (ICG) and Hyaluronic Acid mixture (Luminomark)
What this could lead to
If successful, this marking method could help surgeons locate colon tumors more accurately during surgery, reducing the need for extra tissue removal.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants. The dye may not always be visible or could cause minor side effects like fever or allergic reactions.
