Feasibility of Diffuse Reflection Spectroscopy for Intraoperative Margin Assessment During Prostatectomy
We looked at the ability of a technique called diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to guide surgeons in discriminating prostate cancer tissue from benign prostate tissue in real time during prostate cancer surgery. Our study showed promising results in an experimental setting. Future research will focus on bringing this technique to clinical practice.
