In the case of cancer, it is important to identify degree of tumor’s malice. We investigated the differences of Fourier Transform Infrared-Attenuated Total Reflection (FTIR-ATR) and FT-Raman spectroscopy between leukoplakia, oral cancer and normal tissues. Human tissue contains many compounds with known absorption spectra in the range of Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. These compounds have a fingerprint region, which permits their characterization. FTIR spectroscopy is a promising diagnostic tool. There is ability to detect skin, cervix, prostate, breast, esophagus, stomach, bladder and oral cancers [1]. Imaging using FTIR microscope allows analysis of biochemical compounds in microregions of biological materials. FTIR microspectroscopy is the perfect technique for tissues and individual cells analysis [1]. It delivers information about biochemistry of cell or tissue samples and has been applied in many areas of medical research [2]. IR absorption spectra of abnormal tissues and normal tissues are compared by lipid (2800 - 3000 cm–1), protein (1500 - 1700 cm–1), and nucleic acids (1000 - 1250 cm–1) regions [2]. One of the mucous membrane lesions of the mouth is leukoplakia. This change has a “fingerprint region” in the range of 900 - 1800 cm–1 [3]. Raman spectroscopy has high potential of medical diagnosis. This method is a molecular specific technique that can be used to develop a fundamental biochemical understanding of tissue physiology and pathology. Both methods are dedicated to screening of preneoplastic and neoplastic tissues and have a potential to reduce morbidity of leucoplakia and oral cancers. Obtained data suggested that these infrared techniques are applicable to biomedical and clinical diagnostics.展开更多
