James Higginson: Intraoperative assessment of HNSCC margins using rapid evaporative mass spectrometry
Positive tumour margins following ablative surgery for HNSCC are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Specialised mass spectrometry techniques can analyse the plume of smoke generated by electrodiathermy/CO2 laser dissection can accurately distinguish tumour from normal tissue.

About the event
Positive tumour margins following ablative surgery for head and neck cancer are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Existing tools to assist intraoperative margin detection, such as frozen section, offer poor diagnostic performance and are not universally adopted. Specialised mass spectrometry techniques can analyse the plume of smoke generated by electrodiathermy (Bovie) or CO2 laser dissection and accurately distinguish tumour from normal tissue: this has potential for intraoperative margin assessment.Â
SPEAKER: Dr. James Higginson is a Clinical Doctoral Fellow, Head and Neck Cancer, Imperial College London.Â
