Laser-Induced Auto Fluorescence of Normal and Tumor Bladder Cells and Tissues

In Vitro and in Vivo Studies

Analytical Use of Fluorescent Probes in Oncology

Abstract

Urothelial carcinoma in situ (CIS) is clearly related to tumor recurrence and subsequent cancer progression1. CIS detection remains a challenge for urologists since this lesion, which is only a few cell layers in thickness, may be asymptomatic and/or not visible under conventional white light cystoscopy.
