Time ‐resolved fluorescence (TRF) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) for margin analysis in breast cancer

ConclusionThe work detailed in the main study showed the tr‐FRS system has the potential to differentiate malignant from normal breast tissue in women undergoing surgery for known invasive ductal carcinoma. With further work, this successful outcome may result in the development of an accurate intraoperative real‐time margin assessment system. Lasers Surg. Med. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
