Raman Spectroscopy for Rapid Evaluation of Surgical Margins during Breast Cancer Lumpectomy
Abstract Failure to precisely distinguish malignant from healthy tissue has severe implications for breast cancer surgical outcomes. Clinical prognoses depend on precisely distinguishing healthy from malignant tissue during surgery. Laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS) has been previously shown to differe...
