title: Spectroscopic differences between human cancer and normal lung and breast tissues.
abstract: Steady-state spectra, time-resolved spectroscopic, and excitation spectra from human cancer and normal tissues have been measured. Spectroscopic differences between normal and cancerous tissues have been found that could be used as a basis for an instrument for the early detection of cancer.
