Summary

The goal of clinical trial is to test an FDA approved drug called Pafolacianine that attaches to cancer cells and lights up when seen through a special camera system in adults with a suspected primary diagnosis, or a high clinical suspicion of gastrointestinal, fore gut, pancreatic, hepatobiliary, esophageal malignancies and gyn malignancies planned for HIPEC/debulking, warranting surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: Can CYTALUX (pafolacianine) injection used with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent imaging improve the detection of malignant tissue in subjects undergoing surgical resection for cancer? Participants taking part in this study will receive the study medication. Then, during the surgery the investigator team will turn on the camera to evaluate if the tumor is visible with the help of the study medication. Taking part in this study will last about 2 months.
