Table 1 Patients prospectively recruited into the clinical trial. Patient specific information including breed, sex (male castrated (MC) or female spayed (FS)), and age (years old (yo)) is reported. Tumor variant as a conventional/papillary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or solid/canine acanthamatous ameloblastoma (CAA) is reported. Tumor location and size is reported using the WHO TNM staging system as T1: <2 cm, T2: 2–4 cm, T3 > 4 cm. Presence of locoregional metastasis and staging methodology is reported. Within this study Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping was performed by indirect computed tomography lymphangiography. Lastly, presence of distant metastasis and staging methodology with radiology or computed tomography (CT) is reported.

From: Label-free fluorescence lifetime imaging can distinguish cancer from healthy tissue in spontaneously occurring canine oral tumors
