Summary
PROJECT SUMMARY Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, with current screening techniques, such as colonoscopy, demonstrating limitations in accurately detecting subtle structural abnormalities and biochemical changes in colorectal lesions. These limitations contribute to missed diagnoses and incomplete resections, which account for over 85% of post-colonoscopy CRC cases. This project aims to address these challenges by integrating label-free fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) into standard colonoscopy procedures to enhance the detection and
