Power of Light: Raman Spectroscopy and Machine Learning for the Detection of Lung Cancer.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, emphasizing the urgent need for reliable and efficient diagnostic methods. Conventional approaches often involve invasive procedures and can be time-consuming and costly, thereby delaying the effective treatment. The current study explores the potential of Raman spectroscopy, as a promising noninvasive technique, by analyzing human blood plasma samples from lung cancer patients and healthy controls.
