Abstract

Significance: Early detection of cancer positively impacts diagnosis and treatment, ultimately improving patient survival. Using fluorescence imaging offers the promise of safe, noninvasive detection with excellent resolution and guides surgical removal of tumors to improve patient outcomes. However, the success of current optical probes is limited due to high background from tissue autofluorescence, poor penetration depth, and inherently low signal stability. Here, we engineered M13 bacteriophage to stabilize single-walled carbon nanotubes for selective, targeted imaging of ovarian tumors. These nanoprobes fluoresce at longer near-infrared wavelengths than current probes, thereby improving noninvasive detection of small, deep tumors and guidance for surgical removal of submillimeter tumors. This material-based approach may be attractive to guide surgical interventions where deep tissue molecular imaging is informative.

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.
