Purpose Patient-tailored management of thyroid nodules requires improved risk of malignancy stratification by accurate preoperative nodule assessment, aiming to personalize decisions concerning diagnostics and treatment. Here, we perform an exploratory pilot study to identify possible patterns on multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) for thy...

Vulnerable atherosclerotic carotid plaques are prone to rupture, resulting in ischemic strokes. In contrast to radiological imaging techniques, molecular imaging techniques have the potential to assess plaque vulnerability by visualizing diseases-specific biomarkers. A risk factor for rupture is intra-plaque neovascularization, which is characteriz...

Background: Vulnerable atherosclerotic carotid plaques are prone to rupture resulting in ischemic strokes. Molecular imaging techniques have the potential to assess plaque vulnerability by visualizing molecular markers. Bevacizumab-800CW is a near-infrared fluorescent contrast agent antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A)....

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to major changes in health care and education options for all health care employees. The aim of this study is to achieve insight into COVID-care participation of surgical residents in the Netherlands, the impact of COVID-19 on the experienced quality of surgical training and the influe...
Article
Rationale: Resection of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) is accompanied by a high rate of tumor-positive surgical margins (14-34%), which potentially leads to decreased disease-free survival. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A) is overexpressed in malignant tumors, including STS, and can be targeted with bevacizumab-800CW during fluorescence-gu...

Cancer cell metabolism leads to a uniquely acidic microenvironment in solid tumors, but exploiting the labile extracellular pH differences between cancer and normal tissues for clinical use has been challenging. Here we describe the clinical translation of ONM-100, a nanoparticle-based fluorescent imaging agent. This is comprised of an ultra-pH sen...

Tumor-positive resection margins are present in up to 23% of head and neck cancer (HNC) surgeries, as intraoperative techniques for real-time evaluation of the resection margins are lacking. In this study, we investigated the safety and potential clinical value of fluorescence-guided imaging (FGI) for resection margin evaluation in HNC patients. We...
Conference Paper
Introduction: ONM-100, an indocyanine green (ICG) conjugated, micelle-based polymer imaging agent with an exquisitely pH-sensitive binary activation mechanism, may be used for intra-operative tumor detection. Micelles dissociate in acidic environments resulting in fluorescent activation of ICG. As most solid cancer types are acidotic due to anaerob...

3068 Background: ONM-100, a micelle-based polymer imaging agent conjugated to indocyanine green (ICG) and with an exquisitely pH-sensitive binary activation mechanism, may be used for tumor detection. ONM-100 micelles dissociate in acidic environments resulting in activation of the fluorescent ICG tag. As nearly all solid cancer types are acidotic,...
Article
Background: Currently, no reliable intra-operative tumor detection and margin assessment technologies during breast conserving surgery are available. Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) using tumor specific fluorescent tracers can improve intra-operative tumor detection. However, a major limitation is the lack of broad tumor applicability due to comp...
