Abstract

We report detection of slight alterations of tissue micro-architecture by recording multi-dimensional data characterizing tissue light scattering. In the animal studies, we show that these light scattering "fingerprints" change dramatically even in the earliest pre-dysplastic stages of carcinogenesis, much earlier than currently known histological, molecular, or genetic markers.
