Article Synopsis
- Inhaled 5-aminolevolinic acid (5-ALA) enhances the sensitivity of fluorescence bronchoscopy for early-stage lung cancer diagnosis compared to traditional white-light methods.
- Patients were given 5-ALA at different time intervals before the bronchoscopy to determine the best timing for its use.
- The study suggests that using 5-ALA 160 minutes prior to the procedure optimizes the detection of malignant tissues, providing a better distinction between tumors and normal tissue.
