Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The ability of the unaided human eye to detect accurate borders between cancer and normal tissue during surgery is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of g-Glu-HMRG in distinguishing oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) from normal tissue. After removing OSCC, g-Glu-HMRG was sprayed on the surface of fresh sliced section of OSCCs. Fluorescent images were obtained by in vivo imager. Fluorescence was firstly confirmed at invasive fronts of OSCC 1 to 3 minutes after the spraying. 25 minutes after the spraying, we could distinguish whole OSCC invasive fronts from normal tissue. In conclusion, the results of this study demonstrated that g-Glu-HMRG could rapidly detect OSCC invasive front. Instant activation of the probe makes it feasible for incorporation into surgical intraoperative resection procedures.
