About
Dr. Aimen Zlitni is a leading researcher in surgical oncology and biomedical imaging, whose work focuses on improving the precision of cancer surgeries. Her primary research areas include intraoperative fluorescence imaging and real-time tumor margin assessment, with a particular emphasis on colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Dr. Zlitni’s major contribution is the development and validation of a technique using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence during laparoscopic and robot-assisted liver resections. Her landmark 2020 study demonstrated that this method can accurately identify tumor margins in real time, addressing the critical problem of margin-positive resections—which occur in nearly a third of CRLM surgeries. This work, cited 71 times, has the potential to significantly reduce local recurrence rates and improve patient outcomes by enabling surgeons to achieve complete tumor removal during a single operation. Dr. Zlitni’s innovative approach bridges the gap between advanced imaging technology and practical surgical needs, establishing her as a key figure in the field of image-guided surgery. Her research continues to shape the future of precision oncology.
