Abstrakt		Tissue fluorescence induced by a specific wavelength without photodynamic markers offers new possibilities for the detection and localization of early laryngeal carcinoma. The recognition of cancer is possible with a specially designed system (LIFE, Xillix Co., Richmond, Canada) that displays different fluorescent properties of normal and cancerous tissues on a video monitor. 108 patients (in 74 of whom malignancy was suspected) were included in the stady. The laryngoscopic appearance obtained by microlaryngoscopy was compared to the fluorescence image and the pathohistological findings of the observed sites. The results of the study show that detection of laryngeal malignancies with fluorescence laryngoscopy is more effective than with standard microlaryngoscopy and that recognition is even more successful if the two methods are used in combination.
Izvleček		Fluorescenca tkiva, izzvana brez fotodinamičnih označevalcev s svetlobo določene valovne dolžine, ponuja nove možnosti za okrivanje in zamejitev zgodnjih oblik raka v grlu. Prepoznavanje rakastih sprememb nam omogoča sistem (LIFE, Xillix Co., Richmond, Canada) that displays different fluorescent properties of normal and cancerous tissues on a video monitor. 108 patients (in 74 of whom malignancy was suspected) were included in the study.
