This trial tests whether a green dye called indocyanine green can help surgeons find and remove more lymph nodes during laparoscopic surgery for advanced stomach cancer. It may improve the chances of removing all cancer.
This study tests whether using a green dye (called indocyanine green) during keyhole surgery helps doctors find and remove lymph nodes more accurately in stomach cancer. It may help reduce the chance of leaving cancer behind.
This trial tests whether using a green dye (called indocyanine green) during minimally invasive surgery can help the surgeon see and remove lymph nodes more effectively for stomach cancer. The dye is injected near the tumor and may improve the accuracy of lymph node removal, which could help reduce the risk of cancer coming back.
This trial tests whether a special green dye (indocyanine green) injected during minimally invasive stomach cancer surgery helps doctors remove more lymph nodes, which may improve treatment. It is for people with stomach adenocarcinoma that has not spread to distant organs.
