Probe based confocal laser endomicroscopy in thoracic endoscopy
CONCLUSION: For the time being, pCLE is not part of routine clinical practice. The data available need to be validated in larger randomized prospective trials, before it can be recommended as a guiding tool for biopsies or as a diagnostic tool for pathologic process. New fluorophores are now available. They are specific of some molecular sequences, allowing the enhancement of specific targets within the sample studied.PMID:38030554 | DOI:10.1016/j.rmr.2023.11.001
