Researchers develop label-free automatic cancer diagnostics

Researchers have developed a new spectroscopic method to support pathologists in diagnosing cancer. They compared conventional procedures for colon cancer identification with a novel method called label-free spectral histopathology. Contrary to previous methods the procedure does not have to stain the tissue in order to detect cancer, giving scientists the opportunity to classify a tissue sample automatically as being either normal or diseased.
