Scientists presented new optical methods for diagnosing cancer
Springer has published a collective monograph on multimodal optical methods for diagnosing cancer. The book contains describes a wide range of optical methods that have recently been used for the specialized study of tumors of various organs and tissues. The authors are leading specialists in biophotonics from Russia, U.S., Canada, Germany, Finland, Bulgaria, and Great Britain. The proposed methods will increase the accuracy and speed of detecting oncopathologies and monitor treatment.
- The features of these methods make possible noninvasive diagnostics of oncological diseases, - says Yuri Kistenev, one of the authors of the monograph, head of the Laboratory of Biophotonics and executive director of the TSU Institute of Biomedicine. - The technologies proposed by the authors do not replace the main approaches, that is, the histological examination on which diagnosis is based.. But the multimodal approach using several different optical methods helps to obtain data that are very relevant to clinicians.
