NCT ID NCT07294638
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special fluorescent dye that attaches to cancer cells to help doctors see if lymph nodes contain cancer during surgery for early gastric cancer. About 47 people with early gastric cancer will have their removed lymph nodes examined with this probe. The goal is to avoid removing healthy lymph nodes and improve recovery.
