The Use of Indocyanine Green as a Diagnostic Adjunct for Pediatric Solid Malignancies

Trial Status: active

Use of indocyanine green will augment the accuracy of identification and resection of both primary solid malignancies as well as their pulmonary metastases, where applicable We will conduct a prospective feasibility study of pediatric patients with solid malignancies with or without lung metastatases who present at the time of initial diagnosis or relapse. These patients will receive a targeted dye to aid in the resection of these metastases. We plan to assess ICG as it relates to: 1. Diagnostic accuracy using pathologic correlation as gold standard measure 2. Short and long term event free and overall survival
