lüll Raman spectroscopy in head and neck cancer Harris AT; Rennie A; Waqar-Uddin H; Wheatley SR; Ghosh SK; Martin-Hirsch DP; Fisher SE; High AS; Kirkham J; Upile THead Neck Oncol 2010[Oct]; 2 (ä): 26In recent years there has been much interest in the use of optical diagnostics in cancer detection. Early diagnosis of cancer affords early intervention and greatest chance of cure. Raman spectroscopy is based on the interaction of photons with the target material producing a highly detailed biochemical 'fingerprint' of the sample. It can be appreciated that such a sensitive biochemical detection system could confer diagnostic benefit in a clinical setting. Raman has been used successfully in key health areas such as cardiovascular diseases, and dental care but there is a paucity of literature on Raman spectroscopy in Head and Neck cancer. Following the introduction of health care targets for cancer, and with an ever-aging population the need for rapid cancer detection has never been greater. Raman spectroscopy could confer great patient benefit with early, rapid and accurate diagnosis. This technique is almost labour free without the need for sample preparation. It could reduce the need for whole pathological specimen examination, in theatre it could help to determine margin status, and finally peripheral blood diagnosis may be an achievable target.|Carcinoma, Squamous Cell/*diagnosis/pathology[MESH]|Carcinoma/diagnosis/pathology[MESH]|Early Detection of Cancer/methods[MESH]|Head and Neck Neoplasms/*diagnosis/pathology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Neoplasms, Squamous Cell/diagnosis/pathology[MESH]|Spectrum Analysis, Raman/*methods[MESH]|Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck[MESH]|Tumor Cells, Cultured[MESH] |
