Abstract
Radical prostatectomy (RP) represents the cornerstone of surgical treatment for prostate cancer. Assessing surgical margin status intraoperatively with current techniques remains challenging due to high costs in the context of an already stretched pathology workforce. Fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) is a promising technique to detect margins in prostate cancer surgery not bound by such limitations.
