Imaging-guided lung surgery using special near-infrared light
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using special near-infrared imaging can help surgeons better guide lung tumor removal during minimally invasive or open chest surgery. It may improve how accurately the surgical area is identified during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are age 18 or older.
- Your thoracic surgeon recommends surgery to remove a lung lesion using video-assisted chest surgery (VATS) or open surgery (thoracotomy).
- You can sign an informed consent form before any study-related tests or procedures.
- If you can become pregnant, you must have a negative pregnancy test before any study procedures.

This trial tests a new way to find the sentinel lymph node (the first lymph node cancer might spread to) using a special augmented-reality camera and a dye called ICG. It's for women with breast cancer who are having surgery to check their lymph nodes.
This trial tests if a special dye called indocyanine green can help surgeons find sentinel lymph nodes during surgery for esophageal cancer. It may help doctors know which lymph nodes to remove for better staging.
This study tests a new technique using a special camera and a dye to help surgeons find any remaining cancer in the armpit lymph nodes after standard removal surgery. It may help make sure all cancer is removed and reduce the need for more procedures.
This trial tests using a green dye called ICG (indocyanine green) during breast cancer surgery to find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) that cancer may have spread to. It aims to help doctors locate these nodes more accurately, and is for people with early-stage breast cancer that has not yet spread to the lymph nodes.
This trial looks at a minimally invasive surgery approach for people with colon adenocarcinoma that has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The team will use special mapping tests on the sentinel lymph node to better understand the cancer spread and help guide treatment decisions.
This study tests a special dye that helps surgeons see breast cancer tissue and nearby lymph nodes more clearly during surgery. The goal is to make sure all cancer is removed while sparing healthy tissue.
