Pilot Study In Vivo Confocal Microscopy Probe for Cervical Precancer

Stopped: Funding has run out

Canada60 participantsStarted 2019-09-01

Plain-language summary

The goal of this proposal is to determine whether a hand-held confocal microscopy probe may perform better than standard methods in detecting cancer or pre-cancerous abnormalities of the cervix. The confocal probe will provide invivo histopathology-like images of cell morphology and three-dimensional tissue architecture non-invasively in real time.
