Sponsor's own description
Cancer is the commonest cause of death in the UK, and a national and international healthcare priority. Survival in the UK is relatively poor vs. European comparators1, meaning early tumour detection and accurate clinical assessment is particularly important to improve outcomes. Treatment fundamentally depends on tumour staging, both of the local cancer and of draining lymph nodes (LN), as well as distant spread of disease i.e. TNM stage (tumour (T), node (N) and metastases (M). However, current non-invasive pre-operative imaging technologies of ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are limited in sensitivity and specificity for nodal assessment, either missing disease or subjecting patients to unnecessary additional invasive biopsies or surgery. A simple, rapid, non-invasive tool to assess primary tumours and LN involvement would be of great clinical value. One candidate technology is photoacoustic tomography (PAT), a relatively novel modality that combines exquisite spatial resolution with the ability to image multiple biological tissues, including blood, water and lipid. To date, PAT has been most successful in imaging the vasculature, which is of particular interest for oncological imaging because one of the key hallmarks of cancer is the development of new, abnormal blood vessels (neoangiogenesis). The high sensitivity for superficial imaging with PAT means that head and neck tumours and neck LN are readily amenable for assessment. In this cohort of patients, those with oral cavity tumours, in particular tumours arising from the lining of the tongue, would be readily accessible for direct scanning.
