- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>1. Differences between in-vivo ESS data from neoplastic areas and<br /><br>non-neoplastic areas.<br /><br>2. Differences between in-vivo ESS data from normal areas of patients with<br /><br>neoplasia vs. normal areas from patients without neoplasia.<br /><br>3. Comparison of in-vivo ESS data with structural information from OCT-images<br /><br>and the attenuation coefficient (µoct).<br /><br>4. Comparison of in-vivo MDSFR spectroscopic data with genetic abnormalities<br /><br>and clonal diversity detected with brush cytology and DNA FISH.</p><br>
