5-ALA-mediated fluorescence of musculoskeletal tumors in a chick chorio-allantoic membrane model: preclinical in vivo qualification analysis as a fluorescence-guided surgery agent in Orthopedic Oncology.

The CAM model proves to be a suitable in vivo model for the investigation of short-term observation questions in musculoskeletal tumors. The findings of this study warrant further investigation of PDT effects on musculoskeletal tumors and a possible incorporation of 5-ALA FGS in clinical Orthopedic Oncology care.
