Ex Vivo Tumor Visualization and Resection Margin Assessment Using Topically Applied Fluorescent Imaging Agents
Sponsor: Erasmus Medical Center
Summary
This is a proof-of-principle study, that uses freshly resected human solid tumor specimens to assess the performance of topically applied fluorescent imaging agents for the detection of tumor tissue and close / tumor-positive resection margins ex vivo. Surgery will be performed in conformity with hospital protocol. The study will not interfere with the standard clinical care.

Topical application of a fluorescent imaging agent
The fluorescent imaging agent will be topically applied only onto the resection planes of the freshly resected tumor specimen. During incubation and after each washing steps, visible light and fluorescent overlay images will be acquired using a fluorescence sensitive camera system.
