Molecular heterogeneity of cancer is a major obstacle in tumor diagnosis and treatment. To deal with this heterogeneity, a multidisciplinary combination of different analysis techniques is of urgent need because a combination enables the creation of a multimodal image of a tumor. Here, we develop a computational workflow in order to combine matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometric (MALDI-MS) imaging and Raman microspectroscopic imaging for tissue based studies. The computational workflow can be used to confirm a spectral histopathology (SHP) based on one technique with another technique. In this contribution, we confirmed a Raman spectroscopic based SHP with MALDI-imaging. Owing to this combination, we could demonstrate, for a larynx carcinoma sample, that tissue types and different metabolic states could be extracted from the Raman spectra. Further investigations with the help of MALDI spectra yield a better characterization of variable epithelial differentiation and a better understanding of ongoing dysplastic alterations.
