Blue-violet excited autofluorescence spectroscopy and imaging of normal and cancerous human bronchial tissue after formalin fixation

Georges Wagnières, Tanja Gabrecht

Autofluorescence (AF) imaging is a powerful tool for the detection of (pre-)neoplastic lesions in the bronchi. Several endoscopic imaging systems exploit the spectral and intensity contrast of AF between healthy and (pre-)neoplastic bronchial tissues, yet, ...

Extracellular Matrix Remodeling by Dynamic Strain in a 3D Tissue Engineered Human Airway Wall Model

Melody Swartz

Airway wall remodeling is a hallmark of asthma, characterized by subepithelial thickening and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Mechanical stress due to hyperresponsive smooth muscle cells may contribute to this remodeling, but its extent and relevanc ...

Clinical fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging for the detection of early carcinoma by autofluorescence bronchoscopy and the study of the protoporphyrin IX pharmacokinetics in the endometrium

Tanja Gabrecht

The aim of this thesis is to optimise and gain fundamental information on two applications of photomedicine using fluorescence imaging and spectrofluorometry: (1) the detection of early bronchial cancer by autofluorescence imaging and (2) the endometrial a ...

In vivo autofluorescence imaging of early cancers in the human tracheobronchial tree with a spectrally optimized system

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger

The changes in the autofluorescence characteristics of the bronchial tissue is of crucial interest as a cancer diagnostic tool. Evidence exists that this native fluorescence or autofluorescence of bronchial tissues changes when they turn dysplastic and to ...

In vivo autofluorescence spectroscopy of human bronchial tissue to optimize the detection and imaging of early cancers

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger

We are developing an imaging system to detect pre-/early cancers in the tracheo-bronchial tree. Autofluorescence might be useful but many features remain suboptimal. We have studied the autofluorescence of human healthy, metaplastic and dysplastic/CIS bron ...

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin in the hamster cheek pouch tumor model: comparison with clinical measurements

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Alain Woodtli

The pharmacokinetics (PK) of the photosensitizer tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC) was measured by optical fiber-based light-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (LIFS) in the normal and tumoral cheek pouch mucosa of 29 Golden Syrian hamsters with chem. i ...

Photodynamic therapy for 101 early cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract, the esophagus, and the bronchi: a single-institution experience

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Alain Woodtli

Cancer, when detected at an early stage, has a very good probability of being eradicated by surgery or radiotherapy. However, less aggressive treatments also tend to provide high rates of cure without the side effects of radical therapy. We report on the r ...

Three-dimensional optical phantom and its application in photodynamic therapy

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: A technique to manufacture a stable, reproducible three-dimensional optical phantom is presented. This phantom reproduces the tissue's optical properties as well as the geometry and, to some extent, the mechanical properties of th ...

Photodetection and photodynamic therapy of "early" squamous cell carcinomas of the pharynx, oesophagus and tracheo-bronchial tree

Hubert van den Bergh, Christian Depeursinge, Georges Wagnières, André Châtelain

The efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) alone was evaluated on 41 ‘early’ squamous cell carcinomas of the pharynx (10), oesophagus (15) and tracheo-bronchial tree (16). All lesions but two were synchronous second primaries in ENT-patients suffering from ...
