Ultra-Violet Fluorescence Bronchial Cancer Location

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Lung Cancer
Registration Number
NCT02533518
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne
Brief Summary

Diagnose lung cancer at an early stage is crucial for effective treatment. At these early stages, cancer is usually invisible in ambient white light when the endoscopic analysis of the bronchial mucosa. This lining is self-fluorescent at its illumination by blue light. These widely distributed autofluorescence methods detect early mucosal abnormalities. They are very sensitive but not specific to recognize the lung cancer. Thanks to European funding (EURIMUS), a new tool with fluorescent UV light has been developed.

The purpose of this preliminary study is to verify the suitability for specific detection of cancerous tissue in Pneumology of this fluorescence method versus histological analysis of the tissue.
