Discover how imaging techniques are driving cancer research forward. In this issue, we present comprehensive multimodal studies using microscopy, as well as new directions in intraoperative cancer imaging, diagnosis and treatment solutions. Hear from our independent researchers about some of their recent accomplishments in the field of cancer imaging.

This report gives insights from experts in the field, including topics such as:

  • understanding cell size control in cancer,
  • nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) on pancreatic cancer cells,
  • the significance of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA),
  • tool for brain tumour resection,
  • the heterogeneity of cancer cells, and
  • the use of fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) in tumour visualization.
