Value of fluorescence endoscopy for the early diagnosis of laryngeal cancer and its precursor lesions

Fluorescence endoscopy is used for the early detection and delineation of laryngeal cancer and its precursor lesions. No systematic review of these promising imaging techniques has yet been performed.
