Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung
To determine the feasibility of macroscopic visualization of small ovarian cancer metastases in vivo by fluorescence after intravenous administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA); to assess the time after drug injection when fluorescence of small metastases is maximum; and to correlate macroscopic in vivo fluorescence with both microscopic ex vivo fluorescence and histologic findings.
