Synopsis

Surgery is an important treatment option for cancer patients. Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) of cancer is an intraoperative medical technique that produces real time fluorescence image of the surgical region which helps the surgeons in performing the surgical procedure. Till now, various types of cancers such as head and neck cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, esophagus cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, gastric cancer, and melanoma have been treated with the help of FGS. Conventional imaging techniques such as CT and MRI are expensive and difficult and cannot be used at the time of surgery. On the other hand, FGS provides real-time imaging during surgery and it is less costly and easier to use. It is significant to achieve a negative tumor margin for a successful cancer resection as the presence of residual tumor cells after surgery may cause tumor recurrence that leads to poor prognosis. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide an in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of fluorescence-guided surgery of cancer. It aims to present researches that have transformed this discipline and have aided in its advancement. This book will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in this field.
