Surgery is a key treatment for localized or locally advanced solid tumors. However, the application of wide safety margins can result in significant side effects and functional limitations for the patient. On the contrary, tissue-sparing surgery may leave residual tumor, which can lead to local recurrent cancer or distant metastases. To address these problems, intraoperative radio-guidance, such as
