This book was released on 2014 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: e"Fluorescence molecular imaging will have an important clinical impact in the area of guided oncology surgery, where emerging technologies are poised to provide the surgeon with real-time molecular information to guide resection, using targeted molecular probes. The development of advanced surgical systems has gone hand in hand with probe development, and both aspects are analyzed in this work. A pulsed-light fluorescence guided surgical (FGS) system has been introduced to enable video rate visible light molecular imaging under normal room light conditions. The concepts behind this system design are presented and performance is compared with a commercial system in both phantom and in vivo animal studies using PpIX fluorescence. The second critical advance in the emergence of these technologies has been the development of targeted near infrared (NIR) probes. A small, engineered three-helix protein was analyzed for imaging of glioma tumors. The blood brain barrier affects delivery of probes and the superior delivery of a smaller targeted protein (anti-EGFR Affibody) as compared to a full sized antibody is shown using a murine model, ex vivo tissue slices and a commercial imaging system. This small targeted probe is examined further for its possible application in FGS using the pulsed light imaging system. A concentration sensitivity analysis to determine the lower bounds on concentration needed for effective imaging is performed with this culminating analysis carried out in a murine orthotopic glioma tumor model."

Download or read book Surgical Oncology Fluorescence Guided Surgery written by Jaime Allison and published by American Medical Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) is a type of surgery that is performed with the guidance of fluorescence imaging. It has emerged as a new approach to detect the primary tumor, tumor margins, and metastatic lymph nodes. A major cause of tumor recurrence is the presence of residual tumor cells after surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to have a negative tumor margin to ensure a successful cancer resection. Despite widespread use of preoperative imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, and positron emission tomography (PET) scan, the surgical margin positive rate failed to reflect remarkable improvement. The plausible reason for this failure is the reliance of surgeons on the visual inspection and intraoperative histopathological analysis of the frozen tissue specimen. FGS is now emerging as an effective tool to guide the surgical oncologists by generating real time fluorescence images of the surgical region. It reduces the possibility of recurrence of cancer. This book strives to provide a fair idea about the fluorescence-guided surgery and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances related to this medical procedure. It is a vital tool for all researching and studying fluorescence-guided surgery as it gives incredible insights into the emerging trends and concepts.

Download or read book The Clinical Value of Fluorescence Imaging in Head and Neck Cancer written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary The main objective for curative oncologic surgery is to remove tumor tissue in conjunction with tumor-free margins. The essence for surgeons hereby lies in distinguishing healthy from diseased tissue to ensure satisfying prognosis. Today, surgeons make this important distinction based on tissue palpation and visual appearance, occasionally followed by frozen section analysis (FSA) – a technique that has substantial flaws, especially in complex surgery such as the head and neck. This might in part explain the high rates of tumor-positive margins and subsequent suboptimal overall survival rates afflicted with surgical head and neck oncology. The past decades, intraoperative imaging techniques utilizing near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence have been developed to aid surgeons in distinguishing tumor from healthy adjacent tissue. These real-time imaging techniques provide an essential step towards improving surgical outcome through enhanced tumor visualization and thereby increase patient survival. The first targeted fluorescent agents have been evaluated in multiple early phase trials and are now entering large scale clinical testing. It is now that we can start to monitor where the true clinical capacity of this technique lies. This thesis aims to lay a clinical foundation and explore the future possibilities of intraoperative fluorescence-guidance for surgical head and neck oncology. By providing an overview of various in situ and ex vivo imaging strategies, the work aims to illustrate the clinical possibilities and subsequently smoothen the transition of fluorescence imaging into today’s clinic.
