Use of indocyanine green will augment the accuracy of identification and resection of both primary solid malignancies as well as their pulmonary metastases, where applicable We will conduct a prospective feasibility study of pediatric patients with solid malignancies with or without lung metastatases who present at the time of initial diagnosis or relapse. These patients will receive a targeted dye to aid in the resection of these metastases. We plan to assess ICG as it relates to:
- Diagnostic accuracy using pathologic correlation as gold standard measure
- Short and long term event free and overall survival

Metastatic Disease Primary Tumor Solid Malignancies |
Patients diagnosed with solid malignancies or metastatic lesions who require clinically indicated resection will be identified by their Oncologist. The oncologist will inform the subject/family about the study and ask if they may be interested in participating. If the subject/family demonstrates potential interest in the study, the Pediatric Surgery Research team will discuss the risks and benefits of pre-operative ICG administration with the patients and enrollment.
Study subjects: All patients diagnosed with solid malignancies as well as those with metastatic disease distant from the primary tumor will be potentially eligible for the study. Diagnosis will be made:
- In a multimodal fashion including physical exam, radiologic evaluation (ultrasound, MRI, CT scan, etc), and sometimes biopsy.
- Prior to definitive surgical resection of the newly diagnosed malignancy
