Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in Japan. The use of endoscopy is increasing, along with the number of histological examinations of specimens obtained by endoscopy. However, it takes several days to reach a diagnosis, which increases the medical expense. Raman spectroscopy is one of the available optical techniques, and the Raman spectrum for each molecule and tissue is characteristic and specific. The present study investigated whether Raman spectroscopy can be used to diagnose gastric cancer.
