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 study tests using a special fluorescent dye (ICG) during surgery to help surgeons see and remove colon cancer more clearly. The dye highlights blood vessels and tissue, which may help ensure all cancer is removed safely.
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 using a special dye and near-infrared light during colon surgery can help doctors see blood flow to the bowel and prevent leaks where the bowel is reconnected. It may help you avoid serious complications after surgery.
This trial tests a special dye called indocyanine green to help surgeons see blood flow during surgery to remove part of the colon. If you have colorectal disease and need surgery, this could help make your operation safer.
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.
