Current status and future trends of real-time imaging in gastric cancer surgery: A literature review

Zhu Liu et al. Heliyon. .

Abstract

Technological advances are crucial for the optimization of gastric cancer surgery, and the success of any gastric cancer surgery is based on the correct and precise anatomical determination of the primary tumour and tissue structures. Real-time imaging-guided surgery is showing increasing potential and utility, mainly because it helps to aid intraoperative decision-making. However, intraoperative imaging faces many challenges in the field of gastric cancer. This article summarizes and discusses the following clinical applications of real-time optical imaging and fluorescence-guided surgery for gastric cancer: (1) the potential of quantitative fluorescence imaging in assessing tissue perfusion, (2) vascular navigation and determination of tumour margins, (3) the advantages and limitations of lymph node drainage assessment, and (4) identification of peritoneal metastases. In addition, preclinical study of tumour-targeted fluorescence imaging are discussed.
