Lymph node mapping for children with solid tumors
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to map lymph nodes in children with solid tumors. It helps doctors understand how tumors spread to lymph nodes, which may guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Under 18 years old
- Diagnosed with a solid tumor that is not a blood cancer
- Already scheduled for a procedure where lymph nodes (small glands that fight infection) will be sampled
- No history of allergy to iodine (a substance used in some medical tests)
- Not pregnant
- Weigh more than 650 grams (about 1.4 pounds)

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 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.
This trial looks at a minimally invasive surgery approach for people with colon adenocarcinoma that has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The team will use special mapping tests on the sentinel lymph node to better understand the cancer spread and help guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests if a special dye called indocyanine green can help surgeons find sentinel lymph nodes during surgery for esophageal cancer. It may help doctors know which lymph nodes to remove for better staging.
