Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women worldwide. The
standard histopathology of breast tissue, the primary means of disease diagnosis,
involves manual microscopic examination of stained tissue by a pathologist.
Because this method relies on qualitative information, it can result in
inter-observer variation. Furthermore, for difficult cases the pathologist often
needs additional markers of malignancy to help in making a diagnosis, a need that
can potentially be met by novel microscopy methods. We present a quantitative
method for label-free breast tissue evaluation using Spatial Light Interference
Microscopy (SLIM). By extracting tissue markers of malignancy based on the
nanostructure revealed by the optical path-length, our method provides an
objective, label-free and potentially automatable method for breast
histopathology. We demonstrated our method by imaging a tissue microarray
consisting of 68 different subjects -34 with malignant and 34 with benign
tissues. Three-fold cross validation results showed a sensitivity of 94% and
specificity of 85% for detecting cancer. Our disease signatures represent
intrinsic physical attributes of the sample, independent of staining quality,
facilitating classification through machine learning packages since our images do
not vary from scan to scan or instrument to instrument.
