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 small marker (like a tiny tag) that your doctor places in the breast before surgery to help find and remove the tumor precisely. It is an alternative to using a wire, and the goal is to make surgery more accurate and less stressful.
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 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 study looks at the safety and usefulness of placing a marker at the biopsy site in women with invasive breast cancer before surgery. It may help ensure the right area is removed during surgery.
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.
