Green dye to guide lymph node removal in stomach cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your tumor must be a type called adenocarcinoma (the most common stomach cancer type).
- Your cancer must be at a stage where it hasn't spread to distant organs (stages cT2-4a, cN0-3, cM0).
- You should be in good general health, able to do all daily activities without help (ECOG 0 or 1).
- You must not have had another cancer in the last 5 years or received chemotherapy or radiation for another cancer (except neoadjuvant chemo for this stomach cancer).
- You cannot have severe medical conditions that would make laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery unsafe.

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 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 Phase 2 study tests whether using a special light-activated dye (indocyanine green) during laparoscopic stomach surgery can improve surgical outcomes for people with remnant (leftover) stomach cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help surgeons better find lymph nodes while operating.
This trial tests whether using a special dye (called indocyanine green) during a minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery can help doctors see lymph nodes and cancer more clearly in patients with upper stomach cancer. The goal is to improve the precision of the surgery and possibly lead to better outcomes.
This trial tests a new way to remove stomach cancer using 3D-4K cameras and a special dye during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It may help surgeons see the cancer better and remove it more precisely.
