Raman spectroscopy is non-destructive method that allows monitoring of biological tissues with minimal intervention. FT-Raman (λex 1064 nm) and NIR-Vis-Raman (λex 785 nm) spectroscopic measurements were used in ex vivo analysis of normal, non-cancerous abnormal and cancerous lung tissues. Spectroscopic discrimination of the lung tissue samples was made by the use of the ratio of characteristic bands and multivariate statistical methods (PCA, LDA). The combination of Raman spectroscopy and multivariate statistics may have a diagnostic potential for recognizing of cancer lesions in lung.
