Abstract:Background: Intraoperative near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging became a great assistance to surgeons for precision cancer surgeries. Here, we demonstrate that NIRF was capable of detecting ultra-small hepatocellular carcinoma focus of about 430µm during real time monitored liver cancer surgery. Prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma is closely related to residual tumor cells and tissues after tumor resection. Thus, close monitoring to ensure a complete removal of residual tumor is primordial. However, up … Show more
