Abstract:Bladder cancer is the fifth most common malignancy in humans. Cystoscopy under white light imaging is the gold standard for bladder cancer diagnosis, but these tumors are difficult to visualize and can be overlooked, resulting in high recurrence rates.

Here, we report the first-in-human application of this probe for near-infrared flu… Show more
