Abstract

Introduction: The 'Getting It Right First Time' report suggests a high rate of re-operative intervention following breast conserving surgery. Intraoperative margin assessment (IMA) tools may reduce re-excision rates. Laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy (LIFS) is a non-invasive optical modality which can be used for real-time discrimination of normal and malignant tissues. This pilot study investigates LIFS signals from varying tissue types, aimed towards IMA tool development.
