Summary

This trial will test if a dye called ICG can help surgeons find cancerous lymph nodes in the abdomen for removal. It may also help detect if cancer has spread outside the known area.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients under 21 with pediatric solid tumors in the abdomen needing lymph node removal. They must be able to consent (or their guardian) and not be pregnant, have had extensive prior surgery at the tumor site, or have iodide allergies.
What is being tested?
The study tests Indocyanine Green (ICG), a dye used during surgery to identify lymph nodes affected by abdominal solid tumors. The goal is to see how well ICG helps in mapping these nodes and if it's safe.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include allergic reactions related to ICG use, which may manifest as skin rashes or more severe responses depending on individual sensitivity.

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~from the time of icg administration to 24 hours after surgery (post-surgery)
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and from the time of icg administration to 24 hours after surgery (post-surgery) for reporting.
