Abstract
The development of drugs and devices to guide surgical resection of tumors in the United States requires the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration. Because these combine a drug and a device, the regulatory pathways can be confusing, particularly to academics or small companies. This paper discusses some of the issues and provides some guidance in this area.
