Summary

This trial tests a new imaging system that helps surgeons see blood flow during certain cancer surgeries by using a special dye. It targets patients with esophageal and lung cancers to improve surgical outcomes. The system works by highlighting blood flow with a special light, making it easier for surgeons to perform precise operations. The dye has been used in various clinical applications, including cancer surgeries, to help visualize blood flow and tumor margins.
