Overview

• The dye attaches to prostate cancer cells, making them visible under special light during surgery.
• In a trial of 23 men, the dye revealed cancerous tissue missed by conventional methods.
• The technique aims to remove all cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue, minimizing side effects like incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
• Researchers plan larger trials to further test the dye's effectiveness and explore its use in other cancers.
• Participants in the initial study, including a cancer-free retiree, report positive outcomes.
