New marker test for marking colon tumors before surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new marker that glows under special light to help doctors see exactly where a colon tumor is during surgery. It may help make the surgery more precise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 80 years old
- Your colon tumor is at an early stage (T1 or T2) and has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs
- You need surgery to remove the tumor, possibly after a prior endoscopic procedure
- Your doctor decides that marking the tumor with a marker is needed for the surgery
- You do not have severe liver or kidney problems, and you are not pregnant or nursing

This study tests a special camera that helps surgeons see blood flow in the colon during surgery. It may help make sure the surgery is safer and more successful.
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 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 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 studies whether a fluorescent dye used during an exam can help doctors map (find) lymph nodes in colon cancer. It may help improve how surgeons plan treatment and decide what to remove.
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.
