| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We designed a fiber-bundle based confocal micro-endoscope which can be used for real time optical biopsy (Goto et al, PNAS 2015) and evaluated its usefulness in head and neck tumor cases, especially, squamous cell carcinomas. Dissected specimen were first evaluated about its auto-fluorescence spectral profile with 473nm or 561nm laser excitation, and then fluorescence labeled by drop application of 0.03-0.1ug/ml acriflavine to visualize the nuclei and underwent optical observation by the micro-endoscope. Auto-fluorescence spectral analysis revealed that the auto-fluorescence (500-550nm) of cancer tissue against 473nm excitation was lower than that of corresponding normal tissue. Although, some training seems required for judgement, there existed a clear difference between tumor tissue and normal pharyngeal mucosa in the uniformity of nuclear size and shape, indicating its promising efficacy in the real-time histological evaluation of head and neck tumors.
