Fluorescence detection of tumors early diagnosis of microscopic lesions in preclinical studies

Background. The growth of microscopic tumor lesions at or beyond treatment field margins poses a major problem in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Early detection techniques that clearly define the location or field spread of disease may improve the planning of disease treatment.
