Raman Spectroscopy in the Diagnosis of Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
Status: Recruiting
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Diagnosis of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is challenging because the yield of imaging and tissue sampling is limited. Raman spectroscopy is an optical method based on the analysis of scattered monochromatic light. Raman spectroscopy is able to provide a molecular 'fingerprint' of the tissue to determine its type. The aim of this pilot study was to develop a methodology for in vivo Raman spectroscopy in bile ducts to improve the current diagnostic capabilities of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
