Summary

This trial uses a special dye that lights up under a camera to help doctors see blood flow and tissue health during surgery. It targets patients with benign bone tumors who are having surgery. The dye shows detailed images of blood vessels, helping ensure precise and effective surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients aged 12 or older with benign bone tumors, such as Enchondroma or Osteochondroma, among others. They must consent to treatment and not be pregnant, breastfeeding, incarcerated, or allergic to iodine. The tumor should be manageable with intralesional surgery.
What is being tested?
The study tests the use of Indocyanine Green (ICG), an FDA-approved dye given intravenously before surgery. It aims to see if ICG helps visualize the tumor better during operation using a special fluorescence camera.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of ICG include mild reactions at the injection site and rare cases of allergy-like symptoms due to iodine content in the dye.

Other Research
Common treatments for bone tumors include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Surgery often involves resection of the tumor, which can be enhanced by using fluorescent dyes like Indocyanine Green (ICG) to improve visualization and ensure complete removal. Chemotherapy uses cytotoxic agents to kill cancer cells, while radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to target and destroy tumor cells. The use of ICG in surgery is particularly important for bone tumor patients as it allows for more precise removal of the tumor, reducing the risk of recurrence and preserving healthy tissue, which is crucial for maintaining bone function and overall quality of life.
