Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Ability of laser spectroscopy performed ex vivo to effectively distinguish between benign and malignant breast tumors

    The data will be taken with a portable spectroscopy system that can perform fluorescence, reflectance and Raman spectroscopy simultaneously through a single fiber optic probe.

    At the time of biopsy

Interventions

Additional histochemical, immunohistochemical, and fluorescence in situ stains may be performed to support the diagnosis or to better understand the spectroscopy results.

Additional histochemical, immunohistochemical, and fluorescence in situ stains may be performed to support the diagnosis or to better understand the spectroscopy results.

Patients' medical charts are reviewed to obtain clinical information

The freshly excised breast tissue samples are analyzed ex vivo by fluorescence, reflectance, and/or Raman spectroscopy.

Hematoxylin and eosin stained sections of the tissue samples are examined by light microscopy for histopathological analysis.

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

This study will involve up to 200 female patients already undergoing needle biopsy or surgical excision of a breast lesion identified clinically. The patients will be recruited from the General Surgery and Radiology practices of the co-investigators.

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: * Clinically identified breast lesion * Planning to undergo needle biopsy or surgical excision of the breast lesion PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS: * Not specified PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY: * See Disease Characteristics
