Prostate cancer is a significant healthcare problem in many western countries. In response to the current need for more accurate and less invasive real-time diagnosis systems, we are developing a thin optical probe that uses Raman spectroscopy to detect prostate cancer in vivo and in real-time. We present results from an ex vivo study on fresh biopsy cores seconds after collection. Findings show that our system can identify prostate cancer from benign tissue, as well as differentiate tissue with different Gleason patterns. We aim to apply this technique, in the near future, for real-time PCa identification during routine biopsy appointments.
