Abstract
Using the hamster cheek pouch carcinogenesis model, we explore which fluorescence excitation wavelengths are useful for the detection of neoplasia. 42 hamsters were treated with DMBA to induce carcinogenesis, and 20 control animals were treated only with mineral oil. Fluorescence excitation emission matrices were measured from the cheek pouches of the hamsters weekly. Results showed increased fluorescence near 350–370 nm and 410 nm excitation and decreased fluorescence near 450–470 nm excitation with neoplasia. The optimal diagnostic excitation wavelengths identified using this model - 350–370 nm excitation and 400–450 nm excitation - are similar to those identified for detection of human oral cavity neoplasia.
