Abstract
A growing number of women develop breast cancer and require surgery. Many lumpectomies lead to follow-up procedures after the initial surgery. Advanced scanning technologies have reduced the number of second and third surgeries, but only by about 50%. This paper assesses the potential of using multispectral images of intrinsic fluorescence to detect breast cancer. Images and spectra of intrinsic fluorescence from fresh ex vivo human specimens are related to pathological analysis, and predict high sensitivity and specificity. A design for a hand-held surgical scanning tool is presented.
期刊介绍:
Critical ReviewsTM in Eukaryotic Gene Expression presents timely concepts and experimental approaches that are contributing to rapid advances in our mechanistic understanding of gene regulation, organization, and structure within the contexts of biological control and the diagnosis/treatment of disease. The journal provides in-depth critical reviews, on well-defined topics of immediate interest, written by recognized specialists in the field. Extensive literature citations provide a comprehensive information resource.
Reviews are developed from an historical perspective and suggest directions that can be anticipated. Strengths as well as limitations of methodologies and experimental strategies are considered.
