Histopathological analysis remains the gold standard, but there is a lack of real-time in situ cancer confirmation to support margin confirmation or remnant tissue. Raman spectroscopy (RS), as a label-free optical technique, has proven its power in cancer detection and, when integrated into a robotic assistance system, can positively impact the efficiency of procedures and the quality of life of patients, avoiding potential recurrence...
