Survival improves when cancer is detected early. However,~ 50% of cancers are at an
advanced stage when diagnosed. Early detection of cancer or precancerous change allows …

Fluorescence-guided surgery using tumour-targeted imaging agents has emerged over the
past decade as a promising and effective method of intraoperative cancer detection. An …

Advances in diagnostic imaging have provided unprecedented opportunities to detect
diseases at early stages and with high reliability. Diagnostic imaging is also crucial to …

Targeted anticancer drugs block cancer cell growth by interfering with specific signaling
pathways vital to carcinogenesis and tumor growth rather than harming all rapidly dividing …

The pathological assessment of surgical specimens during surgery can reduce the
incidence of positive resection margins, which otherwise can result in additional surgeries or …

During the last decade, the emerging field of molecular fluorescence imaging has led to the
development of tumor-specific fluorescent tracers and an increase in early-phase clinical …

Purpose The aim of this review is to give an overview of the current status of targeted optical
fluorescence imaging in the field of oncology, cardiovascular, infectious and inflammatory …

Tumor-positive resection margins are present in up to 23% of head and neck cancer (HNC)
surgeries, as intraoperative techniques for real-time evaluation of the resection margins are …

Molecular imaging is paving the way towards noninvasive detection, staging, and treatment
follow-up of diseases such as cancer and inflammation-related conditions. Monoclonal …

Molecular imaging is an emerging strategy for in vivo visualization of cancer over time based
on biological mechanisms of disease activity. Optical imaging methods offer a number of …
