One of the major challenges in surgical oncology is the intraoperative discrimination of tumoural versus healthy tissue. Until today, surgeons rely on visual inspection and palpation to define the tumoural margins during surgery and, unfortunately, for various cancer types, the local recurrence rate thus remains unacceptably high. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging is an optical imaging technique that can provide real-time preoperative and intraoperative information after administration of a fluorescent probe that emits NIR light once exposed to a NIR light source. This technique is safe, cost-effective and technically easy. Several NIR fluorescent probes are currently studied for their ability to highlight neoplastic cells. In addition, NIR fluorescence imaging holds great promise for sentinel lymph node mapping. The aim of this manuscript is to provide a literature review of the current organic NIR fluorescent probes tested in the light of human oncology and to introduce fluorescence imaging as a valuable asset in veterinary oncology.

<p>Fluorescence imaging in near-infrared IIb (NIR-IIb, 1500-1700 nm) spectrum holds a considerable promise for tissue imaging with deep penetration and high spatial resolution owing to the minimized autofluorescence and suppressed photon scattering. While few inorganic NIR-IIb fluorescent probes have been reported, their organic counterparts are still underdeveloped, possibly due to the lack of efficient materials with long emission wavelength. Herein, we propose a new molecular design philosophy to develop organic NIR-IIb fluorophores with high quantum yield (QY) by manipulation of the effects of twisted intramolecular charge transfer and aggregation-induced emission at the molecular and morphological levels. A pure organic fluorescent dye emitting up to 1600 nm with a QY of 14.2% in the NIR-II region (1000-1600 nm) is developed. For the first time, NIR-IIb fluorescence imaging of blood vessels and deeply-located intestinal tract of live mice based on organic dyes is achieved. The results show that organic fluorophore performs superb imaging ability in both superficial blood vessels and internal organs with high resolution and enhanced signal-to-background ratio in NIR-IIb region. We hope this groundbreakingly study will inspire further research on the evolution of pure organic NIR-IIb probes for in vivo imaging.</p>
