Magnetic Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Gastric Cancer

Magnetic Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Gastric Cancer, Safety and Feasibility Clinical Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 14 Aug 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This phase I finds out the possible benefits and/or side effects of using magnetic tracer FerroTrace and the fluorescent dye indocyanine green to identify the lymph nodes that cancer is most likely to have spread to in patients with gastric cancer that are undergoing gastrectomy. Using FerroTrace in combination with the indocyanine green dye may help researchers better detect the disease.
