Significant progress in engineering has allowed the production of
devices that can optically detect, differentiate and treat surface
or near-surface cancers. The ability to differentiate cancerous
from non-cancerous tissue in vitro using light represents a
potentially significant advance in patient care, eliminating
needless repeat procedures. With the help of advanced optical
technologies, clinicians are able to identify cancers earlier,
determine surgical margins at the time of surgery, and monitor
treatment results without using expensive and insensitive imaging.
This volume describes the state-of-the-art optical detection
technologies in varying stages of cancer development. Written by an
international panel of basic researchers, engineers and clinicians,
the book is designed to give an up-to-date overview of the most
recent advances for researchers and medical professionals who are
interested in the biophotonic detection of cancer.
