PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polymer having a high ratio of the amount thereof present in a tumor to the amount thereof present in blood (sometimes abbreviated as a tumor/blood ratio).SOLUTION: The polymer has phosphorylcholine (derivative) as a side chain and has a dye (near-infrared dye) having absorption in the near-infrared wavelength region bound to the polymer.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】腫瘍存在量/血中存在量の比率(腫瘍血中比と略すことがある)が高い重合体を提供すること。【解決手段】ホスホリルコリン(誘導体)を側鎖として有し、この重合体にさらに近赤外波長領域に吸収を有する色素(近赤外色素)が結合している。【選択図】なし
