Targeted detection of cancer at the cellular level during biopsy by near-infrared confocal laser endomicroscopy

Radiography identifies suspicious lung nodules that are not always easy to diagnose via biopsy. Here, the authors utilize a fluorescent dye that targets the folate receptor and show using needle based endomicroscopy that it can be used to identify cancer cells during biopsy procedures
