Background: The prognosis of patients with oral cancer can be improved by early diagnosis.
Exact demarcation of tumor margins could contribute to optimum results in surgical excision …

Developments in the fluorescence detection of cancer aim either to distinguish tissue
autofluorescence from that of injected fluorophores or to exploit differences in …

BACKGROUND: Early detection of premalignant/malignant lesions in the oral cavity can
certainly improve the patient's prognosis. This study presents fluorescence imaging with the …

Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive treatment modality for
early and superficial malignancy or premalignancy in the head and neck regions. However …

Background. To optimize photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodetection of cancer, two
important variables that must be considered are the uptake of the dye and the dye contrast …

Photo-detection using in vivo fluorescence was studied for different stages of chemically
induced premalignant lesions and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the Wistar rat palatal …

Background: Early neoplastic changes in the oral cavity may be difficult to detect.
Fluorescence imaging using porphyrin-derived drugs has been used to enhance detection …

Background The aim of photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) is the complete visualization of all
neoplastic lesions in a tumorous organ after topical or systemic application of a tumor …

Fluorescence diagnosis aims to improve the management of oral cancer via early detection
of the malignant lesions and better delimitation of the tumor margins. This paper presents a …

Photodynamic methods have found application not only in the treatment process as
photodynamic therapy but also for the early detection of neoplastic lesions and tumors as …
