Magnetic Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Gastric Cancer
ConditionGastric Adenocarcinoma

SponsorM.D. Anderson Cancer Center
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.
