    Abstract

    Prostate cancer is the most common gender specific cancer. The current gold standard for diagnosis, histopathology, is subjective and limited by variation between different pathologists. The diagnostic problems associated with the correct grading and staging of prostate cancer (CaP) has led to an interest in the development of spectroscopic based diagnostic techniques. ITIR microspectroscopy used in combination with a Principal Component Discriminant Function Analysis (PC-DIA) was applied to investigate FTIR based hislopathology for the diagnosis of CaP In this paper we report the results of a large patient study in which FTIR has been proven to grade Cal' tissue specimens lo a high degree of sensitivity and A representation of the use of infrared light to classify cancerous prostate tissue. copy; 2009 by WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
