Abstract
Quick, macroscopic examination of breast tissue from surgical excisions or biopsies can guide breast cancer patient management. To this purpose, we examined dual-contrast fluorescence imaging with intravital dye Methylene Blue (MB) and disease-specific molecular marker pH low insertion peptide (pHLIP) conjugated with fluorescent Alexa532 (Alexa532-pHLIP) as contrast agents. Samples were stained with both MB and Alexa532-pHLIP and imaged with multimodal wide-field system. Co- and cross-polarized reflectance and fluorescence images were acquired. Then, specimens were processed for H and E paraffin embedded histopathology. Wide-field imaging demonstrated increased pHLIP-Alexa 532 fluorescence emission and high MB fluorescence polarization in cancerous regions.
