Abstract Complete removal of all tumor tissue with a wide surgical margin is essential for the treatment of osteosarcoma (OS). However, it's difficult, sometimes impossible, to achieve due to the invisible small satellite lesions and blurry tumor boundaries. Besides, intraoperative frozen‐section analysis of resection margins of OS is often restricted by the hard tissues around OS, which makes it impossible to know whether a negative margin is achieved. Any unresected small tumor residuals will lead to local recurrence and worse prognosis. Herein, based on the high expression of B7H3 in OS, a targeted probe B7H3‐IRDye800CW is synthesized by conjugating anti‐B7H3 antibody and IRDye800CW. B7H3‐IRDye800CW can accurately label OS areas after intravenous administration, thereby helping surgeons identify and resect residual OS lesions (<2 mm) and lung metastatic lesions. The tumor‐background ratio reaches 4.42 ± 1.77 at day 3. After incubating fresh human OS specimen with B7H3‐IRDye800CW, it can specifically label the OS area and even the microinvasion area (confirmed by hematoxylin‐eosin [HE] staining). The probe labeled area is consistent with the tumor area shown by magnetic resonance imaging and complete HE staining of the specimen. In summary, B7H3‐IRDye800CW has translational potential in intraoperative resection guidance and rapid pathological diagnosis of OS.
