Multispectral ex vivo photoacoustic imaging of cutaneous melanoma for better selection of the excision margin

Cutaneous melanoma is the most common malignant skin cancer and its incidence and mortality rates have been increasing over the last few decades1 . The standard treatment method for cutaneous melanoma is the surgical excision with a certain margin from the visible boundary of the tumor region2 . It is extremely important to decide appropriate excision margin to reduce surgical operation time, cost, and patients' discomfort. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
