Lasers in Medical Science, 03/18/09
Kaeb S et al. - The morphologic features of tumors seen in CM corresponded well to conventional light microscopy. Confocal assessment and light microscopical findings were consistent in 84.6%. If a tumor is clearly detectable by means of CM, the procedure of micrographic surgery can be accelerated. Negative confocal findings have yet to be confirmed by conventional microscopy. Applicability of CM is limited because of an inconsistent image quality that does not allow a reliable detection of small tumor nests. Further research into the handling of the samples and into specific contrast enhancement is necessary for CM to become a widely accepted procedure in micrographic surgery.
