Porphyrin-lipid nanotheranostics for multimodal imaging of nodal disease in preclinical oral cancers
Rationale: Cervical lymph node metastases in oral cancer patients are a frequent occurrence and important prognostic factor. Anatomical and molecular imaging modalities can identify neck metastases with varying sensitivity and specificity but perform poorly in clinically negative neck nodes with microscopic disease. Herein we investigate the use of porphyrin-lipid nanotheranostics (PS) for multimodal detection of neck disease in preclinical models ...
