Raman Spectroscopy Can Successfully Detect Cancerous Tissue Following Laser Ablation

Surgeons rely on 200-year-old techniques based on sight and touch when removing cancer, to determine how much to remove and what to leave alone. Laser technology pioneered at Florida Atlantic University has the promise to help a surgeon better determine if an area is cancer or healthy tissue. Moreover, when combined with laser treatment for cancer, this work lays the groundwork for laser robotic treatment of cancer.
