    This study introduces an endoscopic tool for early cancer detection by analyzing fluorescence. The instrument measures a ratio of fluorescence intensities, ensuring accuracy regardless of distance or surface texture.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Optical Diagnostics
    • Cancer Research

    Background:

    • Early cancer detection remains a critical challenge in oncology.
    • Conventional endoscopic methods may lack sensitivity for subtle neoplastic changes.
    • Fluorescence-based techniques offer potential for enhanced visualization of cancerous tissues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel endoscopic instrument for simultaneous optical inspection and fluorescence characterization.
    • To enable early cancer detection using the fluorescence properties of hematoporphyrin derivative.
    • To develop a measurement method insensitive to target distance and surface topography.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an endoscopic instrument integrating optical imaging and fluorescence spectroscopy.
