Fluorescent probe for oral cancer

eurekalert.org — “The probe stimulates molecules in the patient's tissues with a laser. Some of these molecules naturally respond by re-emitting fluorescent light. The device rapidly detects and analyzes this light using a process called "time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy." By using sensitive measurements of the change in fluorescence over time, surgeons can see the tumor margins even as they are cutting the tissue.View full resource at eurekalert.org

Fluorescent compounds make tumors glow

eurekalert.org — “A series of novel imaging agents could light up tumors as they begin to form -- before they turn deadly -- and signal their transition to aggressive cancers. The compounds -- fluorescent inhibitors of the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) -- could have broad applications for detecting tumors earlier, monitoring a tumor's transition from pre-malignancy to more aggressive growth, and defining tumor margins during surgical removal. These COX-2-targeted "beacons" are described in the May 1 iView full resource at eurekalert.org
