The standard treatment for breast cancer is surgical removal mainly through breast-conserving surgery (BCS). We developed a new technique based on auto-fluorescence (AF) spectral imaging and Raman spectroscopy for fast intraoperative assessment of excision margins in BCS. A new wide-field AF imaging unit based on total internal reflection (TIR) was combined with a Raman spectroscopy microscope equipped with a 785 nm laser. The wavelength of the AF excitation was optimized to 365 nm in order to maximize the discrimination of adipose tissue. This approach allows for the non-adipose regions of tissue, which are at a higher risk of containing a tumor, to be targeted more efficiently by the Raman spectroscopy measurements. The integrated TIR-AF-Raman was tested on small tissue samples as well as fresh wide local excisions, delivering the analysis of the entire cruciate surface of BCS specimens (5.1 × 7.6 cm2) in less than 45 minutes and also providing information regarding the location of the tumor in the specimen. Full automation of the instrument and selection of a faster translation stage would allow for the measurement of BCS specimens within an intraoperative time scale (20 minutes). This study demonstrates that the TIR-AF Raman microscope represents a feasible step towards the development of a technique for intraoperative assessment of large WLE within intraoperative timescales.
