Abstract
This study introduces mesoscopic FLIm as a potential solution to address the challenge of residual cancer in Transoral Robotic Surgery. Current methods rely on intraoperative frozen sections analysis (IFSA), which can yield false negatives. FLIm utilizes tissue fluorophores to delineate head and neck cancer in the surgical cavity accurately. A FLIm-based semi-supervised classification model was developed using data from 22 patients, achieving a sensitivity of 0.75 for residual tumors and an overall tissue specificity of 0.78. The proposed approach also outperformed IFSA in detecting positive surgical margins. FLIm shows promise in guiding TORS and improving surgical outcomes.
