NCT01730365

Brief Summary

Investigation of application possibilities of optical spectroscopy within the field of oncology. Optical spectroscopy enables the possibility to specifically differentiate between different (human) tissues. The hypothesis is that incorporation of this technique into existing medical devices (e.g. biopsy needle) would enlarge the accuracy and reliability of these devices. The purpose is to improve and speed up the diagnostics and therapy of the malignancies.

    Statistical analysis of the difference between diffuse reflectance spectra obtained at normal and malignant measurement locations

    Day 0

Study Arms (1)

Histological biopsy procedures

Patients with a suspicious lesion in lung or liver or breast who are planned for a standard core biopsy procedure. And patients planned for percutaneous RFA (Radiofrequency Ablation) of colorectal liver metastasis

Procedure: Core biopsy procedure

Interventions

Core biopsy of suspicious lesion in lung, liver, breast, or colorectal liver metastasis.

Also known as: Histological biopsy procedure, Standard biopsy procedure
Histological biopsy procedures

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Eligible patients are all patients, who are scheduled for a standard core biopsy of lung, liver or breast; or percutaneous RFA of liver in the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI-AvL), Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In the enrollment process the "patient informatie" will be used and the informed consent must be signed prior to the intervention.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with a suspicious lesion in lung or liver who are scheduled for a standard core biopsy procedure
  • Patient planned for percutaneous RFA of colorectal liver metastasis
  • Written informed consent
  • Patients ≥ 18 years old
  • Breast patients with a BIRADS score 4 or 5

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who have higher risk of bleeding
  • Patients with suspected sensitivity to light; e.g. patients who have had photodynamic therapy
  • Patients who have a history of breast cancer and/or who have received prior chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, or radiation therapy
  • Patients who have breast implants
  • Patients needing a stereotactic breast biopsy (i.e. non palpable-, ultrasound opaque lesions)
