Radical prostatectomy (RP) combined with pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is the first step in multimodal treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) without distant metastases. For a long time, the surgical resection range has been highly dependent on the surgeon's visualization and experience with preoperative imaging. With the rapid development of prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography and single-photon emission computed tomography (PSMA-PET and PSMA-SPECT), PSMA-targeted surgery has been introduced for a more accurate pathological diagnosis and complete resection of positive....
Cyanine dyes are widely used organic probes for in vivo imaging due to their tunable fluorescence. They can form complexes with endogenous albumin, resulting in enhanced brightness and photostability. However, this binding is uncontrollable and irreversible, leading to considerable nonspecific background signals and unregulated circulation time. Methods: Here, we connect varying numbers of 4-(4-iodophenyl) butanoic acid (IP) as albumin-binding moieties (ABM) to the cyanine dye, enabling dynamic and controllable binding with albumin. Meanwhile, we provide a blocking method to completely release....
