title: [Fluorescence lifetimes of squamous carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and normal human lung tissues in vitro by time-resolved fluorescence].
abstract: Using pulsed dye laser 632.8nm, lifetimes of adenocarcinoma, squamous carcinoma and normal human lung tissues in vitro have been measured by time-resolved fluorescence as 5.1, 5.6 and 6.3 ns respectively. Time-resolved fluorescence shows that the decay time of tumor tissues is faster than that of normal tissues. The results may offer new diagnostic method to determine cancer.
