Three-dimensional microscopy of the human bronchial mucosa

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death, and despite recent efforts to reduce the mortality associated with the disease, patient prognosis remains poor with the current 5-year survival rate under 15%. Detection and diagnosis of lesions arising in the bronchial mucosa remains problematic and as a result they are typically well advanced upon discovery.
