This drug that lights up cancer cells under infrared light is making tumor removal more precise for surgeons

Cytalux-administered via IV up to nine hours before surgery for ovarian cancer and up to 24 hours before surgery for lung cancer-works by attaching molecules of highly fluorescent, but harmless, dye to receptors that bring folate into cells. Because folate, a nutrient found in leafy greens and citrus fruits, supports cell growth and division-and cancer cells are always growing and dividing-folate receptors are often over-expressed in tumors.

Not only did the approach fully wipe out the disease to near completion in cellular cultures, but it also dramatically increased the effectiveness of chemotherapy in mouse models of human ovarian cancer.
