Abstract
During resection of head and neck cancers, surgeons collect multiple small tissue samples from the excision wound bed for “frozen section” analysis by a clinical pathologist to determine clear margins. However, this process is disruptive to work flow, time-consuming, and expensive. We have validated Paired-Agent Imaging (PAI) in in vivo xenograft models using epidermal growth factor receptor and demonstrated that PAI exhibits higher diagnostic accuracy targeted agent alone – tested in both fresh tissue (~3-mm) and frozen sections (10-m). Here PAI will be extended to screening of tissue biopsies to quantify tumor burden in comparison to standard frozen section pathology.
