Marker used during solid organ surgery and transplant
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses a small “fiducial marker” (a reference point) during surgery on solid organs or during solid-organ transplant. It’s meant to help guide or track surgical planning, and could make certain procedures more precise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove part of a solid organ (not a hollow organ).
- Or you are receiving a solid organ transplant (for example, kidney, liver, heart).
- The surgery involves a “solid organ” procedure where the marker could be used.
- There are no listed extra medical restrictions in the study’s criteria.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people who have had a standard-of-care biopsy or surgical tissue removal for a solid organ cancer. The goal is to test how treatment options work based on the information from those tissue samples.
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 tests a new surgical marker called Canopus that helps doctors find and remove breast tumors or affected lymph nodes during surgery. It may help you get more precise treatment.
This study tests a small implantable “marker” system (used to help doctors find the tumor or lymph node during breast surgery) for people with breast or lymph node areas that can’t be felt. It may help surgery planning and accuracy when the cancer can’t be easily located by touch.
This study tests a special “marker” technique to help surgeons find affected lymph nodes in the armpit after chemotherapy. It may support more targeted surgery and help avoid unnecessary removal of healthy lymph nodes.
This trial tests whether a fluorescent dye applied to tissue during surgery helps doctors see tumors and check if the tumor removal is complete. If you have a solid tumor and are scheduled for surgery, this study may improve the precision of your operation.
