About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether giving Cytalux™ (pafolacianine) injection several days before surgery works as well as giving it closer to the time of surgery for helping surgeons see lesions during an operation. This study is being done in adult patients undergoing surgery for malignant or non-malignant lung lesions or for confirmed ovarian cancer.
