First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) carcinomas continue to be the 5^thmost common cancer. Early diagnosis is often delayed as tumour precursors or early cancers are hardly visible and not picked up by common imaging methods. Fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging seems able to improve the detection and delimitation of these lesions.
