Optimization of the photodetection of early cancer

Abstract

In general, early detection of cancer tends to improve the chances of successful therapy. Light-induced fluorescence (LIF) is a particularly sensitive method for cancer detection.1 In this technique, fluorescent tumor markers can be applied exogeneously and the resulting LIF differences between tumor and surrounding normal tissue are used for detection. Another approach is to use the endogeneous changes in the autofluorescence between neoplastic and normal tissue.
