Raman Spectroscopy may Aid Early Oral Cancer Diagnosis by Colleen Fleiss on January 13, 2021 at 11:37 PM
Raman spectroscopy showed promise for early detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), said researchers.
OSCC is the most prevalent type of oral cancer and ranks among the most common cancers diagnosed worldwide. Although effective treatments are available, the cancer is often not detected until a late stage, resulting in overall poor prognosis. Raman spectroscopy is not only label-free and non-invasive, but it can potentially be used in ambient light conditions, says research team leader Levi Matthies from University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in Germany. This makes it promising for use as a potential screening tool in the dentist s office.
