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 trial tests whether using a special dye to see blood flow during rectal cancer surgery can help reduce complications. If you are having laparoscopic or robotic surgery for rectal cancer, you might be able to join.
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 compares two ways to check for cancer spread in the lymph nodes during surgery for esophageal cancer. One way removes more lymph nodes, the other uses a special dye to find and remove only the ones most likely to contain cancer. The goal is to see if the dye method works just as well with fewer side effects.
This trial uses a special dye called ICG that is injected during surgery to help the surgeon see the blood flow to your colon and lymph nodes. It may help make the surgery more precise and improve outcomes for colon cancer.
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.
