ICG dye before minimally invasive liver surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a special dye (ICG) before minimally invasive liver surgery helps surgeons see tumors more clearly compared to using ultrasound alone. It’s for people who are already scheduled for keyhole liver surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a liver tumor and your doctor has recommended a minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery.
- You have had a special MRI scan with contrast dye within the last 6 weeks before surgery.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not allergic to iodine and do not have kidney failure or certain thyroid conditions.
- You have not had previous liver surgery.

This trial tests if using a special green dye (ICG) during emergency gallbladder removal helps surgeons see the bile ducts better and reduce complications. It is for adults with acute cholecystitis who are having a planned laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
This trial tests whether a special dye called ICG, which glows under infrared light, can help surgeons better see and remove bone and soft tissue tumors during surgery. The goal is to make the removal more precise and safe.
This early-phase study tests whether a special dye can help doctors see a tumor more clearly during surgery in children and young people. If you have a solid tumor or certain lymphomas that need removal, the dye may help guide the surgeon to the right tissue.
This study tests whether using a special dye during surgery helps people with stage III colorectal cancer stay cancer-free longer. The dye, called indocyanine green (ICG), makes tumors and lymph nodes glow under a special camera, helping surgeons remove them more precisely.
This trial tests a new way to help surgeons see liver tumors more clearly during keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. A special dye (ICG) is used with a camera to guide the surgeon in removing just the right part of the liver. It may lead to safer and more precise surgery for people with liver cancer.
This trial tests whether a special dye (ICG) seen during your surgery can help doctors better identify the edges of a tumor in bone or soft tissue. It may help ensure as much of the tumor is removed as safely as possible.
