**SLY** is an oxaborole-functionalized fluorescent probe that targets sialyl Lewis antigens (sLeᵃ/sLeˣ) by binding terminal sialic acid on cancer cell surfaces, enabling selective fluorescence labeling. After binding, **SLY** is internalized via caveolae-mediated endocytosis and accumulates in mitochondria; this selectivity is supported by decreased signals upon sialidase treatment and inhibited uptake with Filipin. **SLY** provides high-contrast imaging in cancer cells (e.g., HepG2 and HT29) and tumor tissues versus normal counterparts, highlighting its potential for high-fidelity cancer tissue imaging and fluorescence-guided surgical applications.

(d)Fluorescence imaging of celllines using SLY. COS7, Hep3B, HepG2, and HT29 cells were incubated with SLY(50nM) for 1h prior to imaging.

(b) Tissue imaging after incubation with SLY. Liver tissues, obtained from both normal and DEN-induced liver cancer mice, were incubated with SLY (5.0 μM) for 1 h.
