Diagnosis of Breast Cancer Using Fluorescence and Reflectance Spectroscopy

Abstract

The goal of this grant is to characterize the fluorescence and diffuse reflectance properties of breast tissue, and identify features in the spectra which may be useful in diagnosing breast cancer. In the past 12 months in which the award was active, 1 reviewed manuscript has been submitted for peer review, and 5 conference presentations have been completed. Significant work included characterization of the fluorescence and diffuse reflectance properties of normal and malignant human breast tissue, ex vivo. Additional work has focused on developing a fiber optic probe capable of carrying out in vivo spectroscopic measurements on human breast tissues during core needle biopsy.
