Abstract
Modern medicine faces a major challenge in preventing, diagnosing, and treating cancer, especially in its early stages. Current tools for early detection and minimally invasive treatment are insufficient. Laser-based nonlinear endoscopy combining CARS, SHG, and TPEF emerges as a promising solution for cancer diagnostics by detecting molecular changes in tissue for differentiating cancer from healthy tissue. We developed an endomicroscopic system for head and neck cancer diagnosis and femtosecond laser ablation of tissue. The system has been validated through ex-vivo measurements on patient tissue slices and machine learning methods are being developed for quantitative comparison with standard H&E histopathology.
