Real-time VEGFA-targeted NIR-FME. (A) Schematic overview and timeline of the two NIR-FME approaches (n=14). (B) Examples of the systemic tracer based, and (C) the topical tracer results, summarising that all lesions could be visualised with NIR-FME, including one EAC area which was not visible during HD inspection (displayed in C—first row). (D) Additionally identified dysplastic areas during NIR-FME, which were missed during HD-NBI inspection. All fluorescence signals presented here are uncorrected; overlay images display the high intensities only. EAC, oesophageal adenocarcinoma; HD, high-definition; HGD, high-grade dysplasia; LGD, low-grade dysplasia; NIR-FME, near-infrared fluorescence molecular endoscopy; NBI, narrow-band imaging; VEGFA, antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor.
