title: FTIR fiber optics and FT-Raman spectroscopic studies for the diagnosis of cancer.
abstract: The authors' preliminary investigation has shown that FTIR spectroscopy in conjunction with fiber optics can reflect differences between normal and malignant tissues. Further studies are being conducted to determine the applicability of the technique to cancer diagnosis.
