Better lymph node mapping for solid tumor surgery in children
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to map lymph nodes in children with solid tumors, using a tracer to help doctors see which nodes to remove. The goal is to make lymph node sampling safer and more accurate, which could help guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be under 18 years old
- Must have a solid tumor diagnosis (a lump or mass, not a blood cancer)
- Must be scheduled for lymph node sampling (a procedure to check lymph nodes)
- No history of iodide allergy
- Must not be pregnant
- No extensive prior surgery in the area of the tumor or lymph nodes

This study tests whether a special dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help find sentinel lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery after chemotherapy. It may offer a safer and more effective way to check if cancer has spread.
This early study tests using a special dye (indocyanine green, or ICG) to help surgeons find the correct “sentinel” lymph nodes during surgery in children with certain suspected tumors. If successful, it may improve how doctors remove and check lymph nodes while reducing the chance of missing important areas.
This trial tests if an injection of indocyanine green dye can help surgeons find and remove only the key lymph nodes in the armpit during breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce the need for more extensive lymph node removal.
This trial compares two ways to check for cancer spread in the lymph nodes during surgery for esophageal cancer. One way removes more lymph nodes, the other uses a special dye to find and remove only the ones most likely to contain cancer. The goal is to see if the dye method works just as well with fewer side effects.
This study tests a dye called ICG that makes cancer cells glow under a special camera. Doctors use it during surgery to find and remove lung tumors that have spread from another cancer.
This study tests using a green dye (called ICG) injected near your vulvar tumor during surgery to help the surgeon see and remove the right lymph nodes. This could help avoid removing too many lymph nodes and reduce side effects.
