Summary

This study has been designed to utilize already obtained biopsy specimens for investigation of the utility of a new, non-invasive optical diagnostic technique. The study will allow a careful correlation between the Optical coherence tomography findings and conventional histology.

Detailed description

Optical coherence tomography is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that can provide information about tissue abnormalities, change in structure of an organ. This technique uses a near-infrared diode to emit light that can produce images of the specimen under investigation without causing damage or alterations.

Conditions

• Lung Cancer
• Pleural Cancer
• Prostate Cancer
