Summary

This prospective, single-center observational study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of a novel Folate-targeted Near-Infrared II Carbon Dot (FA-CDots) probe for the ex vivo assessment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Following standard radical hepatectomy, resected liver specimens will be incubated with the FA-CDots probe and imaged using a NIR-II fluorescence system. The study aims to determine the feasibility and accuracy of this technology in identifying tumor margins and micro-lesions by comparing the fluorescence imaging results with standard histopathological examination.
