Imaging dye to check bowel healing after gynecologic cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special dye and camera can help doctors see if the bowel connection made during surgery is healing well. It may help reduce complications after surgery for gynecologic cancers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer (ovarian, endometrial, cervical, or vulvar).

This trial tests a special green dye that helps surgeons see blood flow in the bowel during surgery. It may help reduce complications after removing part of the bowel for diseases like cancer or diverticulitis.
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 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 a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) that makes cancer cells glow under a special camera during surgery. It may help doctors remove more cancer and leave healthy tissue alone.
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 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.
