A new single step Raman spectroscopy algorithm may simultaneously detect breast lesions and breast cancer, a new study shows. "Nearly 1.6 million breast biopsies are performed and roughly 250,000 new breast cancers are diagnosed in the Unites States each year," said Ishan Barman, Ph.D., postdoctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge and the study''s lead author.
