{"product_id":"9789814397001","title":"Optical Detection Of Cancer","description":"\u003cp\u003eSignificant 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 \u003ci\u003ein vitro\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Optical Detection of Cancer: An Introduction \u003ci\u003e(Toby Steele and Arlen Meyers)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Coherence Tomography in Oral Cancer \u003ci\u003e(Shahareh Sabet and Petra Wilder-Smith)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Coherence Tomography in Laryngeal Cancer \u003ci\u003e(Marcel Kraft and Christoph Arens)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluorescence Imaging of the Upper Aerodigestive Tract \u003ci\u003e(Christian Stephan Betz, Andreas Leunig and Christoph Arens)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotodynamic Diagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy Techniques \u003ci\u003e(Zheng Huang)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOCT Detection of Lung Cancer \u003ci\u003e(S Murgu and M Brenner)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiffuse Optical Spectroscopy and Imaging in Breast Cancer \u003ci\u003e(Albert E Cerussi and Bruce J Tromberg)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOCT for Skin Cancer \u003ci\u003e(Gordon McKenzie and Adam Meekings)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Researchers and medical professionals who are interested in the biophotonic detection of cancer, including oral surgeons, general surgeons, otolaryngologists, and primary-care physicians.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185283023088,"sku":"9789814397001","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814397001_p0.jpg?v=1763690929","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814397001","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
