Abstract:Accurately distinguishing tumor tissue from normal tissue is crucial to achieve complete resections during soft tissue sarcoma (STS) surgery while preserving critical structures. Incomplete tumor resections are associated with an increased risk of local recurrence and worse patient prognosis.Aim: We evaluate the performance of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) to distinguish tumor tissue from healthy tissue in STSs.Approach: DRS spectra were acquired from different tissue types on multiple locations in 20… Show more
