Abstract
Disclosed is a drug-fluorophore complex for specific detection of tumor cells. Specifically, the drug-fluorophore complex includes a tumor cell-targeting drug penetrating tumor cells and non-tumor cells at different rates or levels, and a fluorescent substance chemically bonded to the tumor cell-targeting drug. The drug-fluorophore complex enables specific imaging of tumor cells only with high accuracy in a very simple manner without causing cytotoxicity.
