Fluorescein-Guided Panendoscopy for Head and Neck Cancer Using Handheld Probe-Based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy: A Pilot Study

Fluorescein-Guided Panendoscopy for Head and Neck Cancer Using Handheld Probe-Based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy: A Pilot Study

BackgroundWhite-light endoscopy and microscopy combined with histological analysis is currently the mainstay for intraprocedural tissue diagnosis during panendoscopy for head and neck cancer. However, taking biopsies leads to selection bias, ex vivo histopathology is time-consuming, and the advantag...
