ICG dye during surgery for stage III colorectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have colorectal cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes but not to other organs (stage III).
- You must be healthy enough for surgery (based on your doctor's assessment).
- You cannot have had previous colorectal surgery or be having emergency or palliative surgery.
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to a dye called indocyanine green.

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 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.
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 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.
This trial compares two dyes used during stomach or intestine surgery to see which helps surgeons see the blood flow better. It may help decide which dye works best for safe reconnections.
This trial tests whether an “ICG” dye and special camera can help surgeons see cancer more clearly during surgery for advanced stomach cancer. It may help improve how safely and accurately surgeons remove the tumor and nearby lymph nodes.
