Fluorescent dye mapping to find lymph nodes in colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a fluorescent dye used during an exam can help doctors map (find) lymph nodes in colon cancer. It may help improve how surgeons plan treatment and decide what to remove.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with colon cancer that is confirmed under a microscope (carcinoma).
- Your colon cancer is in one of these parts: ascending, transverse, descending, or sigmoid colon.
- Your cancer type is adenocarcinoma (not another kind of cancer).
- The doctors must be able to mark the tumor area during an endoscopic procedure.
- You are willing to join the study and participate.

This study tests using a special fluorescent dye (ICG) during surgery to help surgeons see and remove colon cancer more clearly. The dye highlights blood vessels and tissue, which may help ensure all cancer is removed safely.
This trial tests a new marker that glows under special light to help doctors see exactly where a colon tumor is during surgery. It may help make the surgery more precise.
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 trial tests whether using a fluorescent dye during surgery can help doctors better see and remove lymph nodes in people with right-sided colon cancer. It aims to make surgery more precise and potentially improve outcomes.
This trial tests if an injection of indocyanine green dye can help surgeons find and remove only the key lymph nodes in the armpit during breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce the need for more extensive lymph node removal.
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.
