## Abstract ## Background and Objective The clinical usefulness of 5βALA guided detection of tumor tissue has been demonstrated for a number of malignancies. However, current techniques of intraoperative detection of protoporphyrin IX fluorescence in situ do not offer subcellular resolution. There
The potential of protoporphyrin IX fluorescence induced by the systemic administration of delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) for the detection of tumours was tested in three different murine models (MS-2 fibrosarcoma, L1210 leukaemia, and Lewis lung carcinoma). Time-gated fluorescence images were acqui
## Background: Screening for cervical carcinoma and its precursors is based on cervical cytology and diagnostic colposcopy. despite the decrease in the incidence of cervical carcinoma in countries with a good screening program, this rate of decline is leveling off. known problems are false-negative
