Advancing Molecular-Guided Surgery through probe development and testing in a moderate cost evaluation pipeline

Proc SPIE Int Soc Opt Eng. 2015 Mar 4;9311:931112. doi: 10.1117/12.2083224. ABSTRACT Molecular guided oncology surgery has the potential to transform the way decisions about resection are done, and can be critically important in areas such as neurosurgery where the margins of tumor relative to critical normal tissues are not readily apparent from visual or…Continue Reading Advancing Molecular-Guided Surgery through probe development and testing in a moderate cost evaluation pipeline

Nodal lymph flow quantified with afferent vessel input function allows differentiation between normal and cancer-bearing nodes

Biomed Opt Express. 2015 Mar 17;6(4):1304-17. doi: 10.1364/BOE.6.001304. eCollection 2015 Apr 1. ABSTRACT Morbidity and complexity involved in lymph node staging via surgical resection and biopsy could ideally be improved using node assay techniques that are non-invasive. While visible blue dyes are often used to locate the sentinel lymph nodes from draining lymphatic vessels near…Continue Reading Nodal lymph flow quantified with afferent vessel input function allows differentiation between normal and cancer-bearing nodes
