Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of cancer worldwide and the second
most deadly. Recent research efforts have focused on developing non-invasive techniques …

Colorectal surgery is the standard treatment for patients with colorectal cancer. To overcome
two of the main challenges, the circumferential resection margin and postoperative …

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 3rd most common and the 2nd most deadly type of cancer
worldwide. Understanding the biochemical and microstructural aspects of carcinogenesis is …

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of colonic tissue was employed to determine whether the
spectra can be used to distinguish between neoplastic and non-neoplastic tissue in vivo. A …

This ex-vivo study evaluates the feasibility of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) for
discriminating tumor from healthy tissue, with the aim to develop a technology that can …

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) with a fiber-optic probe can noninvasively quantify
the optical properties of epithelial tissues and has shown the potential as a cost-effective …

AIM: Real-time and rapid identification of the malignant tissue can be performed during or
before surgical operation. Here we aimed to detect in vivo and in situ colorectal cancer by …

Blood content and tumor oxygen level are important biomarkers and prognostic indicators in
patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). However, noninvasive measurements of both …

Background Strong proof-of-principle for utilisation of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, a non-
invasive tool for early detection of malignant changes, has emerged recently. The potential …

Background Breast cancer surgeons struggle with differentiating healthy tissue from cancer
at the resection margin during surgery. We report on the feasibility of using diffuse …
