Abstract

The efficacy of fluorescence-guided surgery in facilitating the real-time delineation of tumours depends on the optical contrast of tumour tissue over healthy tissue. Here we show that CJ215-a commercially available, renally cleared carbocyanine dye sensitive to apoptosis, and with an absorption and emission spectra suitable for near-infrared fluorescence imaging (wavelengths of 650-900 nm) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) fluorescence imaging (900-1,700 nm)-can facilitate fluorescence-guided tumour screening, tumour resection and the assessment of wound healing. In tumour models of either murine or human-derived breast, prostate and colon cancers and of fibrosarcoma, and in a model of intraperitoneal carcinomatosis, imaging of CJ215 with ambient light allowed for the delineation of nearly all tumours within 24 h after intravenous injection of the dye, which was minimally taken up by healthy organs. At later timepoints, CJ215 provided tumour-to-muscle contrast ratios up to 100 and tumour-to-liver contrast ratios up to 18. SWIR fluorescence imaging with the dye also allowed for quantifiable non-contact wound monitoring through commercial bandages. CJ215 may be compatible with existing and emerging clinical solutions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
