Fluorescence studies on lung tumors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Illumination of unstained 9 microns cryosections of lung tissue with 365 nm results in visible fluorescence light with a maximum intensity at about 460 nm. These fluorescence tomographical studies can be used for detecting carcinoma of the lung. The fluorescence pattern obtained can be matched nicely with histological findings. Since it takes less than 5 min for getting the fluorescence images, the fluorescence tomographical technique might be used in addition to established methods for determining the histology of a biopsy sample.

A quantitative investigation on lung tumor site on its motion tracking in radiotherapy with external surrogates
Introduction: In external beam radiotherapy each effort is done to deliver 3D dose distribution onto the tumor volume uniformly, while minimizing the dose to healthy organs at the same time. Radiation treatment of tumors located at thorax region such as lung and liver has a challenging issue during target localization since these tumors move mainly due to respiration. There are...
متن کاملInvestigation of lung normal tissue doses in lung tumors radiation therapy using both gated and conventional radiotherapy
Introduction: In radiation therapy of lung tumors, respiratory motion causes target moving, so a larger margin is needed to cover the clinical target volume (CTV). With the margin increasing, a larger volume of normal tissue will be exposed to high-dose. In this study, dosimetric parameters of normal lung tissue were compared between gated and conventional radiotherapy (RT), u...
متن کاملPathology of lung cancer.
Microscopic examination of stained smears and tissue sections remains the standard method for definitive diagnosis and classification of lung cancer. However, the morphology of lung cancer is complex, and consensus classifications such as those prepared by a panel World Health Organization (WHO) are required for the sake of consistency and clinical relevance. In the most recent (1999) WHO class...
متن کاملReview of recent advances in fluorescence bronchoscopy in early localization of central airway lung cancer.
Centrally located lung cancers are radiologically occult until so far advanced as to have a low cure rate or require extensive resection for cure, but at a cost of high morbidity. These cancers represent about one-fifth of new lung cancers. Autofluorescence bronchoscopy appears to be an important tool in localizing premalignant and early malignant lesions in the large central airways, particula...
متن کاملMetastasis of Lung Adenocarcinoma to the Gingiva: A Rare Case Report
Metastatic tumors account for 1% of all oral malignancies. Metastasis to jaw bones is common, particularly in the mandible, rare in the oral soft tissues, and account for only 0.1% of oral malignancies. The majority of metastatic cases (70%) reported in the literature have primary tumors located in the lung, breast, kidney, and colon. Metastasis is a biological complex process that involves det...
