Argon Laser Induced Autofluorescence May Distinguish Between Normal and Tumor Human Urothelial Cells: A Microspectrofluorimetric Study

Abstract

These results, suggesting a significantly reduced oxidized flavoprotein concentration in tumor urothelial cells, should prompt us to evaluate argon LIAFS as a potential tool to detect occult urothelial severe dysplasia and carcinoma in situ.
