Measuring the hyperspectral and auto-fluorescent signature of esophageal cancer for
evaluating diagnostic optical imaging biomar Page 1 HYPERSPECTRAL RESULTS Measuring …

Esophageal cancer's increasing prevalence coupled with a 5-year average survival rate
below 20% due largely to late detection indicates a significant need for improved imaging …

The application of optical absorption spectra in prognostic prediction has hardly been
investigated. We developed and evaluated a novel two dimensional absorption spectrum …

Detecting oesophageal cancer early leads to significantly better patient outcomes. Patients
with conditions associated with higher cancer risk undergo regular surveillance …

Early in their development, tumours stimulate new blood vessel growth through a range of
mechanisms to meet their metabolic needs, leading to marked differences in the absorption …

Optical spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging have shown the theoretical potential to
discriminate between cancerous and non-cancerous tissue with high sensitivity and …

Autofluorescence, the endogenous fluorescence present in cells and tissues, has historically
been considered a nuisance in biomedical imaging. Many endogenous fluorophores …

In the past 30 years, the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (ACA) has increased
significantly. Sadly, advances in treatment have not followed the same trend, and the …

Background and aim The lack of a fast and accurate intraoperative tumour margin
assessment tool contributes to high positive circumferential resection margin rates for …

Autofluorescence imaging has gained prominence as a potential technology for real‐time
biopsies of cancer in the last two decades. Cancerous and healthy tissues can often be …
