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 trial tests a special imaging system that helps surgeons see blood flow during left-sided colon surgery. It may help improve safety and outcomes by checking that the surgical connection has good blood supply.
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 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 tests a special dye called indocyanine green to help surgeons see blood flow during surgery to remove part of the colon. If you have colorectal disease and need surgery, this could help make your operation safer.
This study tests using a special fluorescent dye (ICG) during surgery to help surgeons see and remove colon cancer more clearly. The dye highlights blood vessels and tissue, which may help ensure all cancer is removed safely.
