Breast conserving surgery (BCS) is a recommended treatment for breast cancer patients where the goal is to remove the tumor and a surrounding rim of normal tissue. Unfortunately, a high percentage of patients return for additional surgeries to remove all of the cancer. Post-operative pathology is the gold standard for evaluating BCS margins but is limited due to the amount of tissue that can be sampled. Frozen section analysis and touch-preparation cytology have been proposed to address the surgical needs but also have sampling limitations. These issues represent an unmet clinical need for guidance in resecting malignant tissue intra-operatively and for pathological sampling. We have developed a quantitative spectral imaging device to examine margins intra-operatively. The context in which this technology is applied (intra-operative or post-operative setting) is influenced by time after excision and surgical factors including cautery and the presence of patent blue dye (specifically Lymphazurin(TM), used for sentinel lymph node mapping). Optical endpoints of hemoglobin ([THb]), fat ([beta-carotene]), and fibroglandular content via light scattering ( were affected by < 3.3% error with < 80 mu M of patent blue dye. The percent change in [beta-carotene], . was < 14% in 30 minutes, while percent change in [THb] was > 40%. [beta-carotene] and [beta-carotene]/
